Rendering in Wythall

Before your render in Wythall

This kind of work rarely needs planning permission, but it does have to comply with Building Regulations, and some parts must be certified by a registered installer or signed off by building control. In Wythall, building control is provided by Bromsgrove District Council or a registered building control approver (formerly an approved inspector).

Render can't be applied in frost, heavy rain or strong sun, so programmes follow the forecast.
Hollow or loose render has to come off before a new system goes on.
New render should stop above the damp-proof course with a bell-cast bead.

Which options suit homes in Wythall?

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.

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.

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.

Which postcodes in Wythall do you work in?

We cover B47 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Wythall, neighbouring Kings Heath and Kings Norton 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.

Does Bromsgrove District Council need to approve my render?

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