The Home Buyers Survey in Brentford may include an observation that render has been applied over the stone. If a non-breathable render is used, such as cement, then water which finds its way behind the render cannot escape and must be drawn up the wall to evaporate. Damp and other moisture issues could be accelerated and worsened by rendering over Portland stone walls.
