FAQ
Common questions, answered.
Everything you need to know about our rendering and plastering services. Can’t see your question? Just get in touch.
How much does rendering cost?
The cost depends on the size of your property, the render system chosen and the condition of the existing walls. We provide a clear, no-obligation quotation after assessing the work.
How long does the work take?
Most domestic projects take between several days and two weeks. We explain the likely programme before work starts and keep you updated throughout.
Do you work in my area?
We cover the local area and the surrounding towns. Get in touch with your postcode and we will confirm that your property is within our coverage.
What type of render is best for my home?
That depends on the substrate, exposure, maintenance expectations and the finish you prefer. We can talk you through the most suitable options for your property.
Do you offer a warranty on your work?
Workmanship and manufacturer warranties depend on the agreed specification. Any applicable cover will be stated clearly in the written quotation.
Can you render over existing pebbledash or brick?
Sometimes, but only after checking that the existing surface is sound and properly prepared. Loose or unsuitable finishes may need to be removed first.
What is the difference between rendering and plastering?
Rendering usually protects and finishes external walls, while plastering and skimming create smooth internal wall and ceiling surfaces.
Do you provide plastering services for internal walls and ceilings?
Yes — our service offer includes patch repairs, full-room plastering and smooth skim finishes for walls and ceilings.
Can you repair damaged internal plaster?
Yes. Cracks, blown areas and damaged plaster can often be repaired before a fresh skim coat is applied.
Will rendering improve the energy efficiency of my home?
Render can improve weather protection, but thermal performance depends on the full wall build-up. Insulated systems require a specific assessment and specification.
Do I need planning permission for rendering?
Many like-for-like residential works are permitted development, but listed buildings and some conservation areas have additional controls. Check with your local planning authority.
How do I prepare my home for rendering or plastering?
We will explain access, protection and preparation before work starts. Keeping working areas clear helps the team work safely and efficiently.
Do you work in winter or bad weather?
Interior work can continue year-round. External rendering is programmed around suitable temperatures, rain and drying conditions.
Can you help with coloured or textured finishes?
Yes. Modern render systems offer a range of colours and textures. Samples should be reviewed before the final specification is agreed.
How do I get a quote?
