Which options suit homes in Polesworth?
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.
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 Polesworth?
Expect to budget between £40 and £160 per m² in Polesworth. Silicone render with base coat and mesh over sound brickwork, including beads: typically £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 |

Questions about rendering in Polesworth
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.
Which postcodes in Polesworth do you work in?
We cover B78 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Polesworth, neighbouring Fazeley and Tamworth are covered too.
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.
Will I need permission from the council in Polesworth?
You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Polesworth is provided by North Warwickshire Borough Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
