Fully Qualified

We are fully qualified and highly experienced, with verified reviews on Checkatrade and TrustATrader for additional peace of mind.

When to choose traditional sand & cement: Older, porous brickwork and solid‑wall properties often need a breathable finish. Sand and cement (sometimes lime‑modified) lets moisture escape from the wall, reducing the risk of trapped damp and salt damage. It’s robust and suits Victorian terraces and older Erith houses where breathability matters.

Modern acrylic and silicone systems: These offer greater flexibility and stain resistance, ideal for modern cavity walls or properties exposed to heavy weather. Silicone renders repel driving rain and keep facades cleaner for longer, while acrylic finishes give a smoother, contemporary look. We recommend systems based on substrate, exposure and desired finish.

We specialise in repairing cracked, blown or hollow render before any re‑rendering work. That includes securing detached sections, replacing failed scratch coats and treating any salt contamination. As a local team led by Riley with 20 years’ experience, we combine trade‑standard preparation with a tidy finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

That depends on your wall construction and exposure. Older solid walls usually need breathable sand & cement or lime‑modified render, while modern brick or insulated walls may suit acrylic or silicone systems. We carry out a site survey to recommend the right system for durability and appearance.

Often we can repair isolated areas by removing loose material, securing or pinning hollow sections and applying a compatible repair mortar. If damage is widespread or the existing render is failing, we may recommend a full re‑render for a lasting result. We explain options clearly after inspection.

Timescales depend on wall area, substrate condition and the chosen system. Small repairs can be done in days; full re‑renders on larger houses can take longer due to drying stages. We provide an estimated timescale with every free, no‑obligation quote so you can plan.

Correctly specified and applied render protects against rain penetration, but it must be matched to the wall type. Breathable renders help with moisture transfer on older masonry, while silicone systems add water repellency on exposed facades. We diagnose the root cause of damp before recommending a solution.

We carry public liability insurance and back our work with professional aftercare. As members of The Federation of Master Builders and The Guild of Master Craftsmen, our workmanship meets industry standards and we discuss any guarantees for specific systems during the quotation.
