Which option fits your home?
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.
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.
How much should you budget in Perton?
Guide prices start at £40 and run to £160 per m². Silicone render with base coat and mesh over sound brickwork, including beads: around £70–£100 per m².
| Option | Guide price | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Sand and cement, painted | £40 – £65 per m² | Two-coat render plus masonry paint |
| Silicone or through-coloured render | £65 – £100 per m² | No painting, low maintenance |
| Insulated render (EWI) | £110 – £160 per m² | Insulation boards with a render finish |
Guide ranges include VAT where it applies. Access, parking and the state of what's there now can move the price — the survey settles it.
Your questions answered
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 Perton do you work in?
We cover WV6 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Perton, neighbouring Tettenhall and Codsall are covered too.
What guarantee comes with new render?
The render system carries the manufacturer's guarantee, and the terms for your system are set out in your quote. Some manufacturers' guarantees depend on their full system and application method being used, which we follow. Keep the paperwork with any building control certificate for the work.
Who approves rendering in Perton?
You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Perton is provided by South Staffordshire Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
