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.

Before you book in Droitwich Spa

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.

Which postcodes in Droitwich Spa do you work in?

We cover WR9 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Droitwich Spa, neighbouring Worcester and Bromsgrove are covered too.

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.

Will I need permission from the council in Droitwich Spa?

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