Options to consider in Netherton

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.

Rendering prices in Netherton

Questions about rendering in Netherton

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.

Which postcodes in Netherton do you work in?

We cover DY2 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Netherton, neighbouring Cradley Heath and Brierley Hill are covered too.

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.

Will I need permission from the council in Netherton?

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