Choices to weigh up in Kingswinford
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.
