This house sits in a very prominent position on the corner of Craig Road and Dukes Avenue so the changes being made to it are rather obvious, particularly as they are quite dramatic.
The house was rendered many years ago by a previous occupant who did all the work himself; the render was prepared in pits in the back garden (using materials from the gravel pits in Ham Lands) and was applied using a tool he designed and built for that purpose.
The current owners think brick is better, a sentiment I strongly agree with.
The work is very much in progress, it has moved on since this photo was taken, and so far it seems to be going well. The bricks look to be in good condition (at this distance) and while they are not the deep red of the neighbouring house that is still a lot better look than the render was.
