Choices to weigh up in Water Orton

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.

Sand and cement render

The traditional two-coat render of sand, cement and lime or plasticiser, finished smooth or textured and then painted with masonry paint. It's the most affordable system and easy to patch. It needs repainting every several years, and on older solid walls a breathable, lime-based mix is often better than a hard cement render.

Questions about rendering in Water Orton

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.

Which postcodes in Water Orton do you work in?

We cover B46 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Water Orton, neighbouring Coleshill and Castle Bromwich 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.

Does North Warwickshire Borough Council need to approve my render?

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