Rendering in Codsall

Before your render in Codsall

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 Codsall, building control is provided by South Staffordshire Council or a registered building control approver (formerly an approved inspector).

Downpipes, lights and satellite dishes on Codsall homes are removed and refitted around the new render.
New render should stop above the damp-proof course with a bell-cast bead.
Silicone and through-coloured renders don't need painting.

Which option fits your home?

Insulated render (EWI)

External wall insulation boards fixed to the wall, with mesh, base coat and a silicone or acrylic top coat. It makes solid-walled homes warmer and is the usual way to meet building regulations when re-rendering more than half of an uninsulated wall. It thickens the wall, so window cills, pipes and the roof overhang need detailing.

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.

How much should you budget in Codsall?

For a home in Codsall, our guide range is £40–£160 per m². Silicone render with base coat and mesh over sound brickwork, including beads: usually £70–£100 per m².

Questions about rendering in Codsall

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.

How do I book a survey in Codsall?

Send the form on this page, use the guide-price tool or call 0800 088 6248 free. We'll ask a few questions about your render and arrange a time to visit.

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 Codsall?

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