Thought it was about time I sorted the front of the house out. Had a look and some work is required. Frontage is fairly standard mock tudor, but a bit run down.

1) There are places where the render has come away and the brick work below is becoming visible. What type of render should I use to repair with?

2) At the joints of the mock tudor wood and the render, I was intending to make a gradient to allow water to deflect from behind wood - is this a good idea?

3) A lot of the fake wooden pegs have fallen out and been lost - where can I buy new ones?

4) Assume once render repaired I should apply stabilising soloution and then paint.

5) Any recommendations for exterior paint and wood protection?

Thanks for your help.
