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.

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.

Questions about rendering in Malvern

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.

Do you cover Malvern?

Yes. Malvern (WR14) is about 31 miles from our West Bromwich base and inside the area we cover. Call 0800 088 6248 or send the form on this page to book a free survey.

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.

Does Malvern Hills District Council need to approve my render?

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