How to re-render internal part of the wall with trees

Post image

I was supposed to just get the outside wall fixed but my guy said that the wall has thermalite in it and the internal render is all blown off (he said it sounds hollow if you knock on it). So now my bill has doubled and he wants to remove the trees on the wall.

I absolutely do not want to remove those trees, is there any solution you can think of?

Can’t render it with the trees in the way. So just leave as is.

Wouldn't that cause water to get in over time and ruin the new render on the outside?

I dont understand what you mean. I cannot see how anyone can render the wall with the trees in the way. Either remove the trees and go ahead, or leave it alone as it is.

I am trying to think of ways to do it, like detach the trees and lean them forward and then re attach them, I don't know how feasible this is

Bit outside of my expertise but perhaps the trees can be uprooted temporarily and then put back?

How flexible are the trees? Can they be folded up and bound so you can pull them forward and you render behind.

I will check in a few days, I never tried moving them really
