a bit of a quandry, i'm buying a cottage/bungalow in Meath, A 1920sland commission type. I was wondering if under the rough render perhaps it was stone. When did concrete blocks come into use here in Ireland? I am having the survey done next week , but was foping for an answer before then. How hard would it be to remove yhe render, and reveal the stone ( If it was stone)
That's not a very good idea - water will simply pour into the house.it would look lovely with the render strippped off.

thanks jaid it would be hard work stripping off the render, it is kind of rough cast,and very hard . When you say poor quality do you mean the stone, or the pattern of stone ?
Could be a bad idea in my opinion, the render provides weather-proofing to the wall it is not merely a decorative covering.
Than
ks carpenter, We are having a full survey done on thursday. The surveyor will tell me wont he ?
There is no roof void, as the ceiling is timber kinda A, frame with the top flat
He should be able to tell you, if not he should be able to give you a very good indication of the construction material.
Hi, the surveyor was very depressing. Said the cottage was of concrete(probably) construction with rising damp. I can fix that myself with the new cream damp proof injection material. (Low pressure), But will have to insulate the internal walls, Ill probasbly use insulated p[lasterboards, So I will have to change the rediators, and pipework. More work.
