Rendering in Eye
Eye is a tiny historic market town right on LDR's doorstep near Diss, full of timber-frame and rendered period homes. We know these buildings well. K-Rend approved, fully insured, free quotes.
Eye is just up the road from our base near Diss, so this is very much home turf for us. It is a small, historic market town, and the housing shows it. You have got timber-frame buildings and older rendered period homes, the kind that give the town its lovely, settled character. These are not properties to hand to just anyone. The render has to suit the age and construction of the building, or you store up trouble.
Timber-frame and older solid-wall homes need to breathe. On these we usually recommend K-Rend thin-coat silicone render, which lets the wall release moisture while keeping the rain out. It is a finish that protects the building without smothering it. On approved silicone systems we give a 30-year warranty, so once it is done, it is genuinely done for a long time.
We cover IP23 across Eye and the villages around it. Being so close, we can get to you quickly, which helps when render starts cracking or letting water in and you want it looked at before winter.
What we can do for your home:
- K-Rend thin-coat silicone render
- Sand and cement render
- Acrylic and polymer renders
- External wall insulation with render overlay
- Render repair and refurbishment
With period homes in Eye, repair and refurbishment is often the right first step. Rather than stripping a whole cottage, we can make good the failed sections and refresh the finish so the property keeps its look. When a wall is past that, we will be straight with you and explain what full replacement involves. Either way, you get honest advice from people who understand older buildings.
We are K-Rend approved and fully insured, and we take real care around timber-frame and period walls. Every quote is free and no obligation. We come out, look at what you have got, and give you a fixed price with the right system for the building.
Being local to Eye, we are only a short drive away. Give Luke a call on 07388 771580 and we will pop over and take a look.
Book your rendering before winter
Render needs dry weather and no frost to go on and cure properly, so outside work slows once the weather turns. If you want your walls in Eye done before winter, book your survey now and we will plan the job around the forecast. Anything that cannot be finished safely before winter we will book in for the first settled weather of spring.
Rendering in Eye: common questions
Are you local to Eye?
Very. Our base is near Diss, just up the road, so we can get to Eye quickly and take a look at your render without a long wait, which helps if you want it sorted before winter.
Can you render a timber-frame home in Eye?
Yes. Timber-frame and older walls need to breathe, so we use a breathable silicone render that protects the building without trapping moisture. We assess the construction first and advise accordingly.
Do I need the whole cottage re-rendered?
Not always. On period homes we often repair and refresh the failed sections to keep the look and save money. If a full recoat is genuinely needed, we will explain why. Either way the quote is free.
What our customers say
"Luke and his team are some of the finest building contractors I have had the pleasure of dealing with over the last 25 years. The work completed for us was first class and the guys were respectful, polite and extremely tidy. Absolutely delighted with the finish and we'd have no hesitation in recommending Luke and LDR to anyone. Gary Baldwin - Eye, Suffolk"
"We are thrilled with the work that Luke, Brandon and Kirk have completed for us on our home. It has completely transformed the property, and given it a whole new identity. We had admired LDR's work in a nearby village on a number of properties, when we finally decided to approach Luke and team for a quotation, which we found to be very reasonable. Luke worked with us very openly and without pressure on a timeframe for completing our works, navigating inclement weather and our personal reservations. The team worked in a efficient, orderly and clean manner whilst at our property and filled us with great confidence that we had chosen the right contractor. An incredibly friendly, amenable and jovial team, and we thoroughly enjoyed having them around and can't thank you all enough for helping us make our house finally look more like a home"
"Luke and his team have done a few plastering jobs for us and we can't recommend them highly enough. Polite, efficient, tidy and work that is carried out to a high standard. When we need more work doing Luke will be our first point of contact."
"The LDR team we're great, they carried out internal plastering and and house rendering for us and we are really happy. Luke communicated well and was flexible to help us hit certain dates as to not slow down the project. We still have elements to finish so will be in touch in the near future."
"Outstanding work by conscientious workers.They take real pride in their work. Arrive on time and leave when each stage finished even when this is quite late and beyond 'normal work hours' Always tidy up as they go. Very polite and appreciative. Good communication on what each stage involves and materials used and why. Chose K Rend in pearl on the three outbuildings and it looks amazing."
"Luke, Brandon and Kirk have just applied K rend to the front of my house. Cannot thank the guys enough for an amazing job! It's so hard to get tradesmen you can trust these days but I have to say I would 100% recommend LDR Plastering. Very professional and clean and tidy when working and Luke obviously cares about his customers. Just make sure you give them plenty cups of tea!!! Luke has also done plastering for us inside and again did an amazing job. Can't thank them enough. 5 stars!"
