Which options suit homes in Great Wyrley?

Sand and cement render

The traditional two-coat render of sand, cement and lime or plasticiser, finished smooth or textured and then painted with masonry paint. It's the most affordable system and easy to patch. It needs repainting every several years, and on older solid walls a breathable, lime-based mix is often better than a hard cement render.

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.

Guide prices for Great Wyrley

Expect to budget between £40 and £160 per m² in Great Wyrley. Silicone render with base coat and mesh over sound brickwork, including beads: typically £70–£100 per m².

Questions about rendering in Great Wyrley

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 Great Wyrley do you work in?

We cover WS6 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Great Wyrley, neighbouring Cheslyn Hay and Cannock are covered too.

Will my house be disrupted while it's rendered?

Most of the work is outside, but there's scaffolding around the house, noise when old render is removed, and dust. Windows are masked during spraying and coating, which can make rooms darker for a few days. Downpipes and outside lights are removed temporarily and refitted at the end.

Will I need permission from the council in Great Wyrley?

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