The first job is usually to gently remove any hollow, loose or cracked render. This helps to expose the bare patches of wall which require adequate time to dry out before new render is applied. You should ensure your new render is correctly protected and weatherproofed with an appropriate masonry coating or paint.

The type of materials used is one of the primary cost drivers. Brick, stone, and concrete, each have different price points and labor requirements. The project's complexity also plays a significant role; intricate designs and patterns require more time and skill, leading to higher costs.

Masonry is used to indicate the art of building a structure in either stones or bricks. The masonry wall is built of individual blocks of materials such as stones, bricks, concrete, hollow blocks, cellular concrete and laterite, usually in horizontal courses cemented together with some form of mortar.
