Choices to weigh up in Penkridge

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 Penkridge

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

Before you book in Penkridge

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.

How do I book a survey in Penkridge?

Send the form on this page, use the guide-price tool or call 0800 088 6248 free. We'll ask a few questions about your render and arrange a time to visit.

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.

Does South Staffordshire Council need to approve my render?

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