I’ve been in this game longer than you have probably lived John, but I always enjoy watching conscientious, skilled tradesmen at work. Great little video John. Credit to A&E for all the well presented content👍🏻
Great vid. I really need to start branching out from traditional sand cement render into this world of modern bagged stuff. Watching videos like this give you the confidence to want to try... Take care
Just need to acquire the tools not usually in the tool kit. Scratching float and I-bar etc. It’s a bit more expensive using the pre bagged materials as opposed to sand cement wouldn’t you agree?
The products are a more expensive option than sand and cement initially, but when you factor in the additional cost required for painting, maintaining etc. It's probably pretty close 👍🏻
Hi Jackzuk, This wall was originally a single skin garden wall, which now forms part of the shell of the clients workshop. So because of it's origins, it was decided that render was the best option. Hope this helps, all the best, John 😊
Hi Marcus, The main benefit is that it is a low maintenance product. You don't need to seal or paint it and if it gets dirty you can just wash it down. Also, like traditional render, you can add decorative finishes such as Ashlar lines 😁
Hi, nice job as always, although I definitely would have sunk the galvanized trunking first, it would have made the job a little bit easier for you. Nice job. Cheers
Hi Derby Ash, Unfortunately you would have to remove the paint prior to application, as there is no guarantee that the paint would not delaminate from the surface. This would for obvious reasons, cause issues with the render cracking or delaminating.
You can mate you need to paint the bricks with a bonding agent first, much the same as the grit we use on internal walls .every manufacturer has their own version ,I use the Parex version which is called Micro Goebetis but once you paint it on your committed lol
Thiers also a skill to ruling off when getting your wall straight which is completely missed when doing the time lapse.. Would be nice to show some of it in normal time and run through how you go about it.. 👍
Nice instruction for beginners and detailed 👍 I actually sit through these and sometimes think if I were a beginner I still wouldn’t have a bloody clue it you got it across well mate .The only point I’d make is bed your mesh in the rendaid and the I bar is for when your scratching not ruling off . But that’s me being picky as I thought it was a good instruction video well done 👍 oh I’ve been at this 31 years by the way and don’t normally give compliments 😂
Some constructive criticism-There is no need to use it, a scratch coat in sand and cement will even out suction and you would do all the walls in the same time as it took you to do one. I wonder if that first application would suit painted walls that are being reskimmed. Not sure if the wall was floated true with no slack spots. I suspect A DIY-ER would have it everywhere I am all for progress but if it ain’t broke .....!
Hi MrFlynnyTwo, The Rendaid acts as a stabilizing coat which allows for even suction across a variety of substrates. It's recommended to use when applying the product I was using. I agree that a sand and cement scratch coat would even out suction to some degree, but when applying the top coat there would still be an element of discrepancy. The video was intended to show the application of a monocouche render, not a traditional render, as they are both very different processes. It was also not intended as a comparison between the two applications. With regards to time taken, I actually did 4 walls in one hit (I only show one wall for ease of filming) it took me about an hour to apply the Rendaid which as I mentioned, was left for a few days to set. I then applied and finished the product to all four walls in one day, which as I'm sure you're aware, you would be unable to do with sand and cement, as you would need to allow the scratch to dry before applying the top coat. The wall was ruled with a serrated edge, floated with an I-bar and then finished with a scratch float and finally brushed over to seal the surface. I'm very confident that the wall was as flat as possible. Thank you for your comments, take care and stay safe, John 😊
Build With A&E Thanks for such a considered reply. I would disagree with the suction issue as an experienced plasterer would use green suction to his advantage and there is never a problem. My previous point regarding the time taken, refers to the fact that you had to wait for the first application to set. There are no real advantages for a change from one material to the other as far as I can see (to consider using the new stuff begs a comparison between the two) I hope you will forgive the ill considered comment on your work regarding the quality of the application. One point I did not mention is that The methods of application (left to right and vice versa) have evolved over hundreds of years for good reason and it would be helpful to explain the reasons why (this is likely why you will always get negative responses from time served plasterers) I enjoy your uploads and I am impressed by the high standards that you obviously follow. Kind regards
Hi MrFlynnyTwo, I agree that it begs a comparison. If we get the opportunity, I will do a video on sand and cement render and do a comparison of the two. I will also try and include more information on specific techniques needed for the various applications. I'm learning this presenting thing as we go, as I'm a builder and this is fairly new to me and all of the team, so I do unfortunately miss some things out along the way 😊.

Great demonstration! But what I don’t get is why would someone want that inside a building. I can understand the low maintenance but it’s a lot more time consuming and chances are someone will want to paint it anyway at some point. 😂 totally get it for external though.
Hi Zed Man, This was applied inside a clients workshop as a way of hiding the block work. As it was previously a single skin garden wall, we filled between the pillars with blocks and then rendered over it. Hope this answers your question, John 😊
I'm just wondering why you are doing internal wall with it would it not been easier until dryline it or is that what the customer asked for thanks Mick
Why are you using monocouche render inside? You could of sand and cement render that in half the time and for a fraction of the price or just hard wall and skim coat 🤔
looks long winded pain the bum compared to traditional methods, top job all the same not knocking your work just dont get the method its like k rend indoors
Hi Daemiex, When the whole process is factored in, there isn't much difference in the time taken to be honest. We would normally use this product externally, but the circumstances required it indoors in this instance. Thanks for watching, stay safe. All the best, John 😊
Hi James Miller there a lot of people out there that work towards becoming better trades people and you can’t do this unless you have been on a coarse or been taught by someone who knows the product in side out would you not agree.

Brilliant job well done John.
Hi mate! This has giving me the confidence to try this! I was just wondering would this now be waterproof please?
Thanks mate
Wall looks Awesome!!
Thanks Rusty! 👍
Great Video……How was beads fixed to the wall?
I loved your skimming video. Looking forward to watching this.
To all the cowboys and chancers out there, this is how its done. Quality work as per usual A&E... Belt and braces style!
Where can I buy a whisk for the mixer same as yours ?
Good video guys. Any plans for a K rend how to?
K Rend is basically applied the same way
Great vid. I really need to start branching out from traditional sand cement render into this world of modern bagged stuff. Watching videos like this give you the confidence to want to try...

Hi Jamie,
I'd always been an advocate of sand and cement render, but it really is good stuff to use.
All the best 😊

great vid mate..
top vid guys, just discovered the channel and looking to more vids take care 👍
Great vid,everydays a school day with you lads,keep em coming👍👍
Thanks Chris! Have a good weekend and take care 👍
I’ve watched it now and it’s a nice modern finish. What’s the benefit of this vs cement render? Is it just purely aesthetic reasons?
Hi Marcus,
The main benefit is that it is a low maintenance product. You don't need to seal or paint it and if it gets dirty you can just wash it down. Also, like traditional render, you can add decorative finishes such as Ashlar lines 😁
awsome job, im going to try that now.
Thanks Jordan, hope it goes well 👍
Hi, nice job as always, although I definitely would have sunk the galvanized trunking first, it would have made the job a little bit easier for you. Nice job. Cheers
Can this product be used on exterior brick walls which have been previously painted in masonry paint?
Hi Derby Ash,
Unfortunately you would have to remove the paint prior to application, as there is no guarantee that the paint would not delaminate from the surface. This would for obvious reasons, cause issues with the render cracking or delaminating.
You can mate you need to paint the bricks with a bonding agent first, much the same as the grit we use on internal walls .every manufacturer has their own version ,I use the Parex version which is called Micro Goebetis but once you paint it on your committed lol
Personally I wouldn't recommend it. Here's Weber's take on the matter - www.uk.weber/facades/rendering-over-painted-backgrounds
Parex do a product called Parinter this is designed for painted surfaces you would need to do a pull test first to ensure surface is sound
Mate blokes I've seen always bed mesh into the scratch coat I'd that how they teach you on the webber course ?
Great job thanks 😊
Thanks for watching! 👍
You make it look easy,
You went on a course and now you are teaching others on TH-cam...
Respect and thank you,
Thanks dude! Have an awesome weekend 👍
Can this product be used on external walls? Just thinking about that 2-3 day drying time
Hi Ryan yes it can 👍
@@BuildWithAE thanks for the reply. Enjoy your evening.
Is that product better than k rend
Where can we buy the textured roller?
Hi Rupert Austen,
It's just a standard paint roller. The primer forms the texture as you apply it.
Hope this helps.
All the best, John 😊
Just a thought is this for exterior use and you want a particular finish?
God dayum Iove watching construction work so addicting
More to come EE 😎👍
Thiers also a skill to ruling off when getting your wall straight which is completely missed when doing the time lapse.. Would be nice to show some of it in normal time and run through how you go about it.. 👍

just another question do you prefer Weber render have you looked at K Rend
Hi Mick,
I haven't used K Rend personally, but I hear it's a good product.
@@BuildWithAE yes they're both good systems I suppose it's what you're used to
Just what I'm looking for at the moment.
Awesome! Hope you enjoy and stay safe 👍
@@BuildWithAE you too. 👍
The merchant would never take any paper bag products back
You should have chased the wiring into the blockwork 👍👍👍
Another great video John 👍
Cheers Chris, glad you enjoyed it 😁
Couldn’t sleep and now at 4:32am and I’m not leaving.
Looks alot stickier than sand and cement so will give this a go.
Can you please list the materials and tools required in your description or in a reply to this comment?
Enjoyed the video. Thanks!
Hi Don MarshyHD,
Glad to hear that you enjoyed the video.
To carry out the job you will need -
• buckets
• mixing drill
• cleaning brush
• bucket / gauging trowel
• plastering trowel and hawk
• I - bar
• serrated straight edge
• scratching float
• soft brush
Materials required (depending on area of application) -
• Weber Rendaid
• Weberpral Monocouche
• stop beads
• rendering mesh
If you've never used anything like this before, I would recommend trying a small area first if possible.
I hope this helps, all the best, John 😊
Why not board or plaster the walls? What’s the benefit in doing it this way? Great work though. 👍
Just one question, I see you dont use anything to make sure the wall is straight ..... can a beginner do the same?
Hi Abdelhak Yacoub,
Do you mean prior to rendering? If so, you can check the wall beforehand and apply a slightly thicker coat to compensate.
Great demonstration! But what I don’t get is why would someone want that inside a building. I can understand the low maintenance but it’s a lot more time consuming and chances are someone will want to paint it anyway at some point. 😂 totally get it for external though.

I'm just wondering why you are doing internal wall with it would it not been easier until dryline it or is that what the customer asked for thanks Mick
Hi Mick,
We used render rather than dabbing to prevent any damp transfer as it is a single skin wall.
@@BuildWithAE so it that being drylined then plastered as well?
@@BuildWithAE thank you I understand that now with it being a single skin
You made hard work of that m8 should of meshed rendaid
Why are you using monocouche render inside?
You could of sand and cement render that in half the time and for a fraction of the price or just hard wall and skim coat 🤔
The client wanted a low maintenance finish, and this was the perfect product for the job.
Hope this helps.
All the best, John.
Dot and dab. Done 👍
Instead of an I -bar we use what is called a Rod
And your wrong about the base coat .. it’s only there to stop the mortar lines in the block/brickwork coming thru
Just dot and dab the wall,🙄🙄
Not very interesting. Hes trying to show something new.
2 to 3 days to go off and its not even straight. hardwall would have been ready to skim the same day.
