I need to move a hole for a toilet soil pipe on a rendered house. I plan on cutting a piece of breeze block and cementing it in place. Set back around 25-30mm from the face of the render. This there a way then to patch the render?
Patching render
- Thread starter tomsim
- Start date
Not sure how to get the Finnish on the renders it's not a smooth finish
So if I patch with a breeze block set 25mm back from the face of the render. It should be patchable, to match? I'll probably get someone in to do it. Thanks
It can be patched to match but will always be a noticeable patch.
Looks like K-rend.

Ok thanks. So if I cement a cut to shape breeze block in and leave 25mm back. Someone will be able to patch?
No problem doing that...straightforward job.
OP,
No need to shape anything:
You could just fill the hole with any old off-cuts of brick or block and mortar - leave a bit of space, & when the mortar & rubble sets then bring a fresh coat of mortar level with the surrounding render - and rough up the fresh mortar to blend in as best as possible with the surrounding finished surface.
This way is cheap and as good as anything else esp. so called expensive repair kits.
When its dry paint to attempt a match.

Can you Stitch drill a hole through render or will most of the render fall off around it?
Yes you can stitch drill if your aim is to square the hole off you can use a sharp bolster chisel.
Thank you.
OP,
Why would you stitch drill?
If your question ref stitch drilling is for re-positioning the WC soil pipe then Its not the best practice to stitch drill thro render - the vibrations could cause almost invisible hair cracks.
Best practice would be to hole saw thro the render & its background.
In terms of brick and/or block what is the render background?
