The render would be better stopping short of the ground.

I'm not sure what you mean.. can you explain further?

The wall has been rendered down to the ground. Ideally it should finish at least 150mm above ground level. You should have a couple of courses of brickwork showing above the ground.

And you think that is the problem? The render to the ground looks like it was originally there and not what has been done in the refurb, so could it be that the combination of render to the ground and then exposing the wall to the elements is causing the issue?

Will the paving of the ground make any difference? Any ideas what else might need to be done to solve this?
