Options to consider in Atherstone

Render repairs

Cutting out hollow, cracked or blown render, treating any cause such as a leaking gutter or failed bead, and patching to match. Exact colour and texture matches are hard on painted or weathered render, so a repaired wall may need repainting or a full re-coat to look even. We'll be honest about whether a patch will blend.

Through-coloured render (K Rend type)

Single-coat or two-coat renders coloured through their whole depth, sprayed or trowelled and then scraped to a textured finish. Brands such as K Rend are widely used on new and existing homes. They don't need painting and hide small marks well, though they're best on walls with consistent backgrounds.

What does your render cost in Atherstone?

Before you book in Atherstone

Can you render over my old render or pebbledash?

Sometimes. If the existing render is firmly bonded, some systems can go over it after cleaning and a key coat. Hollow, cracked or loose render must come off first, because new render won't hold a failing background. We tap-test the whole wall at survey and tell you which areas can stay.

Which postcodes in Atherstone do you work in?

We cover CV9 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Atherstone, neighbouring Polesworth and Nuneaton are covered too.

Do I need to repaint render?

Sand and cement render needs painting with masonry paint, and repainting every several years. Silicone and through-coloured renders don't need painting, because the colour runs through the material. They may need an occasional gentle clean, especially on north-facing or shaded walls where algae can grow.

Who approves rendering in Atherstone?

You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Atherstone is provided by North Warwickshire Borough Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
