Two firms local to me that sell products, provide training and carry out some work are:

J & J Sharpe, 16 Clinton Gardens, Merton, Okehampton, EX20 3DP   Tel/fax 01805 603587

Mike Wye and Associates, Glebe House, Buckland Filleigh, Beaworthy, EX21 5HY Tel/fax 01409 281644


It may depend on whether the render you have is lime or cement based.
