Rendering in Leamington Spa

Planning your render in Leamington Spa

Work like this in Leamington Spa rarely needs planning permission, but parts of the job must meet Building Regulations — certified electrical work, ventilation or energy-efficiency standards, for example. Your quote shows how each part is signed off. If planning does come into it, say for a listed building, Warwick District Council is the authority.

Hollow or loose render has to come off before a new system goes on.
Render can't be applied in frost, heavy rain or strong sun, so programmes follow the forecast.
Re-rendering more than 50% of a wall can trigger a requirement to improve its insulation.

Which option fits your home?

Through-coloured render (K Rend type)

Single-coat or two-coat renders coloured through their whole depth, sprayed or trowelled and then scraped to a textured finish. Brands such as K Rend are widely used on new and existing homes. They don't need painting and hide small marks well, though they're best on walls with consistent backgrounds.

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.

Before you book in Leamington Spa

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.

Which postcodes in Leamington Spa do you work in?

We cover CV32 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Leamington Spa, neighbouring Warwick and Kenilworth 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.

Who approves rendering in Leamington Spa?

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