Frequently Asked Questions

What are the advantages of silicone render over traditional render?
Silicone render offers superior water repellence and breathability, reducing moisture ingress and allowing walls to dry. It requires less maintenance and retains appearance longer compared to traditional sand and cement renders.
How long does rendering take and what weather conditions are ideal?
Duration varies by property size and complexity. Generally, preparation and application may take several days. Ideal conditions are moderate temperatures without heavy rain or frost. We monitor forecasts and schedule works accordingly.
Can you match existing render colour or texture?
Yes. For refurbishment we assess the existing finish and use matching render mix or silicone topcoat colour. Samples or test patches can be provided to ensure consistency before full application.
Do I need planning permission for re-rendering?
In most cases re-rendering like-for-like does not require planning permission. However, if changing external appearance significantly or working on listed buildings, additional consents may be needed. We advise on any known local requirements.
How do I maintain rendered walls after completion?
Regular visual inspections for cracks or damage are recommended. Gently clean walls if needed, avoid high-pressure washing. For silicone render, occasional soft washing may suffice. Contact us if any repairs or re-coating become necessary.
