Mock tudor repair and maintenance

[mlevithan]

Hello,

We have mock tudor all around the house, but the front of the house (where it's most exposed) is starting to crumble. Looks like it's painted sand and cement and metal beading in the corners which is completely rusted.

I'm struggling to find someone who can help unless it's a full blown replace everything job, and the neighbours have the same problem. I'd like to repair the bay window like-for-like because most of the house is fine, and then put a protective coating and paint everything so it's all the same colour. Is there a way to repair the crumbling black beam or does it have to be replaced? Most replacement boards are textured to look like wood but maybe this would work

The white part I believe does not need replacing but I like the look of these textured decorative coatings.

Any advice greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks!

Find a local eurocell trade centre and get a price for materials.
Hire a tower scaffold and tackle your own house and neighbours house. Is that what your thinking?

Zinsser all coat black paint would do that masonry if you can make good. Toupret masonry filler which is a powder Is very good.
Plastic edging should be used outside as don't rust if you need to replace any corner edging.

I can't say what's required as you need to get up and take a look

OK thanks, that's useful!

What about the rusty beading in the corner and just above the window? Should I replace them with plastic beads? Or just remove them?

Replace rusting edging with plastic.. You can buy stainless steel but a smaller plastic is good for repairs. Decide when you're up there.
Take a look at YouTube. On the trowel....is a good channel.
