Step by step
1. Scaffolding and netting

Scaffolding goes up the full height, with safety netting so nothing falls below.
2. Damaged render

Along the edges and corners the render had blown and was crumbling.
3. Scraping

Anything loose or hollow-sounding is scraped off until a sound surface is reached.
4. Filling

The bare areas are filled so the wall is smooth again before painting.
5. Painting level by level

The painting moves from one scaffold level to the next, so the whole face gets an even finish.
6. The result

With the scaffolding down, the side wall looks even and clean, with no cracks or patches showing.
