This customer got in contact with me last year, after a harling job he had done had failed. The new harling and the older 60-70 year old render underneath was removed, revealing quite a lot of cracks in the wall due to settlement and old failing lintols and millions. The customer being in his 70’s was advised to just repair the wall and reharl as best as could be done, realising that walls move and crack over time and not wasting thousands of pounds to renew the lintols and millions, where that money could be spent on more important things 😉 however if you want lintols, millions or sills replaced, i can do that.
Anyway the wall was grinded to give a key, washed and coated with sbr then scratchcoated and render meshed to get it as flat as i could, now its ready to be harled.
If your walls are tired looking or theres failing harling, get in contact for a price.
It roughly costs 3 or 4 times the price to take old harling off and reharl, than it does to harl over the top of old harling, this can be done, as long as the old harling has a good hold of the wall underneath, i have done many houses like that most are at the 15 year stage with no problems, 1 of them is at the 23 year stage, and of course there is some that have been done in the last 10 years.
