Hi guys, I'm looking for some advice re the existing cement render on my house which is a 1936 detached bungalow in Glasgow.
The render is in pretty good condition except that some of the top finish coat has deteriorated over the years and has flaked off so last summer I power washed the walls to remove the rest of the flaking top finish and painted the house but unfortunately the bare patches of render turned yellow so what we have now are large patches of yellow on all of the walls (photos below).
I would like to either have those patches repaired (if possible) or re-render the whole house (approx 100m2) with a smooth render like K-rend or similar but in the meantime I would like to re-paint the house (just to make it look acceptable) but I think I need to treat those yellow patches with something to stop that staining through to the new paint.
I managed to get an online ballpark figure for materials from this site below but it was just pure guesswork from me of what was required by using the online calculator however they did contact me so I provided them with some more information and that''s what their estimate is based on which was £1762.

I've posted this in the decorator forum too as I wasn't sure where to post this exactly.
Thanks in advance for any replies/advice.

BTW, if anyone in Glasgow want's to quote for the work just PM me, I'm in G76.
