Sorry, not sure if I should have posted this in Windows & Doors or Plastering and Rendering.
We've just had all our windows replaced with new aluminium double glazing. The side of the house is cement rendered and around some of the windows large chunks of render have come away.
My first question is: Is it fair to ask the double glazing company to repair this?
The house is 18 years old and there are a small number of cracks in the render, but I have certainly never considered them bad enough to require patching up. The render has never been painted, something I promise I will rectify every year, but never do!
My second question is: Assuming I accept that render being chipped off around the windows is something that can't be avoided while installing new windows, what is the best way of repairing it?
I have a couple of photos showing the damage, but I notice this website requires a URL and won't let me load them!
I would appreciate your views.
Thanks.
