How It Works
Survey & Diagnosis
Site visit to inspect masonry, identify blown or hollow areas, and recommend sand & cement or acrylic/silicone systems based on substrate and exposure.
Preparation & Repair
Remove loose render, treat any salt or damp issues, pin or key back hollow areas and apply appropriate mortar or repair system to create a sound base.
Apply Finish & Aftercare
Apply chosen render coat, finish to your preference (smooth, textured or dash) then tidy up. We provide care advice and follow-up where needed.

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.
