Some Common Problems Experts Face While Plastering and Rendering

 



Rendering and solid plastering can make the building exteriors make truly amazing. But while establishing rendering, the professionals face different problems which they have to solve. Anyway, today we will be specifically talking about the problems so that you can talk to the professionals about these problems before you hire them.

  • Wall cracks

During and after building rendering, cracks can easily form and there are several reasons behind it such as improper surface preparation or hurrying up during the preparation. Also, being careless can contribute to the formation of cracks in the building.

These cracks, after forming can slowly spread making the building look unattractive. So, to avoid this problem, the renderers always stay attentive during the plastering.

  • Cracked paintwork

If too many coats of paint have been applied before drying the initial coat, it will lead to cracked paintwork. So, the renderers will need to let the first coat dry completely before they can apply the second coat. Additionally, after applying the first coat, the professionals will inspect the building walls to see if the first coat has dried properly before they can move on with the second coat.

  • Wall damp 

After solid plastering, sometimes wall damp forms. This happens if the surface of the building has not been cleaned properly. Also, if the wall has become old and worn out, dampness can form.

So, to avoid this problem, the professionals will fix the old walls. They will clean them and make do the necessary patchwork before they can begin with the plastering.

  • Rendering becoming loose

Often rendering can become loose and when this happens, the professionals will need to re-render the area.

This occurs if the base of the render was not prepared thoroughly or if the specialists have skipped one or two steps during the application of the render.

  • Mould growth
