Roughcast over paint

[Andyblack]

Hi,

I am after some advice on roughcast. I stay in a two bedroom semi detached and have experienced problem with my roughcast coming off and also dampness in the inside walls. I have decided to get my house re roughcasted but the problem I have is the house is painted. I have had a people look at it and they say it is a harder job because of the paint on the walls.

I am looking for someone to explain what I should do and how much I should pay to have the job done. Also can you explain how the job should be completed stage by stage.

Thanks

Is the existing roughcast being removed back to the brick?

 

[Andyblack]

Is that the best way and how long does that take? What happens if not?

If the majority of the existing cast is loose/hollow its best to remove it all.
if its just coming off in small areas it can be hacked off and patched out level with existing cast.
The painted cast can be powerwashed, scored with a grinder,etched with a scutch hammer and primed with an sbr slurry.

After the scaffold has been erected and the above work completed beads are then installed around windows ,corners ,bellcast etc Then scratch coated.

There is a lot of different products on the market for casting...K rend, MR. polymers etc. Price would depend on choice of product, chips, and access .
