Joinery hung, render on, painter yet to start.
One of our inspectors will call you back. If it is urgent, call 1300 471 805.
Rendered facades are common on Castle Hill rebuilds and duplexes, and fixing stage is where render problems are cheapest to fix. Recent Hills District fixing stage reports have recorded weep holes filled with render, weep holes too close to the ground, render taken across control joints and expansion joints left off despite being on the plans.
