The best thing to do is knock on the door of somebody who's had their's rendered and ask them if they are happy with it and who did it,

See if there is anyone on Wigan Council's Good Trader scheme.

Better to get any work carried out by a trader on the recomendation of a relative or a friend rather than any good trader scheme as some never reply to your enquiry, and if they do, can give you a estimate well above what the cost of what work s required.

A better job than render is to replace the face brick.

Hi Cindy, have a look at Enhanced rendering and plastering solutions on facebook. His name is Neil Davies and you will see pictures of his work and comments from his customers. I have used him myself for plastering and he did a great job. I have also seen a house round the corner from me which he rendered and that looks great too.

Cindy, I can recommend someone who does rendering. My partner was a highly trained plasterer/renderer and his son worked alongside him.
It would be worth giving him a call for a quote. His name is Gordon Anthony Marland on 07766 911788. I found him on the Internet. Sadly, I've been out of touch with him since his dad died, but if you tell him Mollie has recommended him, he'll know who you mean.

hello Cindy , I'm not an expert on structural problems but, There might be a problem and just rendering over it, won't fix it , best to seek some professional advice,

Its been like that for a number of years, When I have it painted the painter fills the crack in, But this time I thought I would have it Re rendered.

Cindy. Having looked at your photos more closely I, like Tom, am no expert, but those cracks in the walls could be some sort of structural damage. A painter may "fill in the cracks," but no decent plasterer or renderer would do that as the cracks could get wider and deeper, thereby splitting the rendering.
I know it may be expensive but, if I were you, I'd consult a local Structural Engineer for advice before going to the expense of rendering. It may be money well spent and save further damage to your house.
