Why render?

Five reasons it's one of the best things you can do to a house.

  1. 01

    It transforms the look

    Dated brick, patchy pebbledash and odd extensions become one clean, modern finish.

  2. 02

    It keeps the weather out

    A good render system stops driving rain soaking into the brickwork, protecting the structure.

  3. 03

    It hides a multitude of sins

    Mismatched bricks, old repairs and uneven walls all disappear under one seamless finish.

  4. 04

    It can make the house warmer

    Add external wall insulation underneath and solid walls stop leaking heat.

  5. 05

    It adds value

    Kerb appeal sells houses. A crisp rendered exterior is one of the first things buyers notice.

Questions

Good to know.

All FAQs
How much does rendering a house cost?

It depends on the size of the walls, the system and how much prep is needed. As a rough guide, silicone render on a typical semi often lands somewhere between £6,000 and £12,000 plus scaffolding, and external wall insulation costs more. Try our quote estimator for a ballpark, then we'll give you a fixed price after a free survey.

Are your quotes free?

Yes. We'll visit, look at the walls properly, talk you through the options and send a clear written quote. No pressure, no hard sell.

How long does a job take?

A typical semi takes around one to two weeks for silicone render and two to four weeks for external wall insulation. The weather has the final say, and we'll keep you updated.

Do I need to be home?

No. As long as we can get to the walls and have access to water and power, you can carry on as normal.

Can you render in winter?

Render needs to stay above about 5°C and dry while it cures. We work all year round but plan the critical coats around the forecast, and won't risk your finish to hit a date.
