Choices to weigh up in Wordsley

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.

What does your render cost in Wordsley?

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

Before you book in Wordsley

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.

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.

Will I need permission from the council in Wordsley?

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