Options to consider in Binley

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.

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.

Before you book in Binley

How much does it cost to render a house?

In the West Midlands, rendering typically costs around £40–£65 per m² for painted sand and cement and £65–£100 per m² for silicone or through-coloured render, plus scaffolding. For a three-bed semi with roughly 90–120 m² of wall, that usually means around £6,000–£12,000 for the render, with scaffolding on top. Removing old render or adding insulation increases the cost.

What guarantee comes with new render?

The render system carries the manufacturer's guarantee, and the terms for your system are set out in your quote. Some manufacturers' guarantees depend on their full system and application method being used, which we follow. Keep the paperwork with any building control certificate for the work.

Does Coventry City Council need to approve my render?

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