Rendering in Bewdley

Planning your render in Bewdley

This kind of work rarely needs planning permission, but it does have to comply with Building Regulations, and some parts must be certified by a registered installer or signed off by building control. In Bewdley, building control is provided by Wyre Forest District Council or a registered building control approver (formerly an approved inspector).

Hollow or loose render has to come off before a new system goes on.
Render can't be applied in frost, heavy rain or strong sun, so programmes follow the forecast.
New render should stop above the damp-proof course with a bell-cast bead.

Which option fits your home?

Silicone render

A thin-coat render applied over a base coat and mesh, with silicone added so rain beads off and dirt washes away. Silicone render is through-coloured, so it needs no painting, flexes slightly with the wall and lets moisture escape. It costs more than sand and cement but needs far less upkeep.

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.

Before you book in Bewdley

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 Bewdley do you work in?

We cover DY12 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Bewdley, neighbouring Stourport-on-Severn and Kidderminster are covered too.

How long does rendering take?

A typical semi takes one to three weeks, depending on how much old render comes off, the system and the weather. Each coat needs time to cure, and render can't be applied in frost, heavy rain or very hot sun. We plan the programme around the forecast and tell you about any delays.

Will I need permission from the council in Bewdley?

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