Coundon sits in the CV6 district, 1.4 miles north-west of the city centre, and we render there regularly. Work ranges from a single failed elevation to a full re-render with insulation. We survey the wall first, because the right system depends on what the wall is built of, then put the recommendation and the price in writing.

Everything your Coundon property needs
The render systems we fit on Coundon (CV6) properties, and the repairs we carry out on render that has already failed.
Silicone Thin-Coat Render
Flexible, breathable, through-coloured silicone render that resists cracking and stays cleaner for longer — no repainting.
K-Rend & Monocouche
Premium scratch-render systems applied in one through-coloured coat for a durable, low-maintenance finish.
Sand & Cement Rendering
Traditional rendering for repairs, period properties and budget-conscious projects, finished smooth or textured.
Pebbledash & Roughcast
Either direction: a matched dash repair on a property that should keep it, or a levelling coat and smooth render over the top of it.
Render Repairs & Crack Repair
Hollow sections cut back to a sound edge, rebuilt in matching material and feathered in — after we have worked out why it failed.
External Wall Insulation
The option when the wall is cold as well as tired. It thickens the wall, so reveals, sills and the roofline are reworked to suit.

What we check on a property in Coundon
Every quote starts with a survey. These are the things we look at on rendering work in Coundon, and why each one changes the recommendation.
Existing finish and its thickness
Rendering over an existing finish adds thickness. We measure what is already there and check the consequences at reveals, sills, the roofline and any abutment before agreeing to overlay rather than remove.
Where the render meets the damp-proof course
Render carried down over the damp-proof course bridges it and lets ground moisture track into the wall above. We check that line on every survey, because it is a common and genuinely damaging detail error.
Meter boxes, flues and external fittings
Gas and electric boxes, boiler flues, outside taps, alarm bells and satellite brackets all have to come off and go back at the new wall thickness. Missing one at survey is how a job overruns.
Previous repairs
Earlier patching tells us a lot — what failed, where, and whether the cause was ever addressed. Repairs that have themselves cracked usually mean the underlying problem is still live.
Ground levels at the base of the wall
Soil, paving or a raised border sitting against the wall will defeat even a perfect render. We measure the gap between ground level and the damp-proof course and flag where it needs lowering.
Substrate suction and dust
A dusty, friable or highly absorbent wall will pull water out of the basecoat and ruin the bond. We test suction and specify the primer or stabiliser the wall actually needs instead of applying a standard one.

Speak to us today0786 5778332Do you only work in Coundon, or the surrounding streets too?
Both. Work in Coundon usually takes us into Radford (about 0.8 miles away), Bishopsgate Green (about 1.1 miles away), Spon End (about 1.2 miles away) and Allesley (about 1.2 miles away) as well, and we quote for all of them on the same terms. There is no boundary line that changes the price.
How quickly can you get to Coundon?
Quickly — it is about 1.4 miles north-west of the city centre. Short distances are the main reason we can offer same-week surveys and come back promptly if something needs a second look.
Does silicone render need painting?
No. The colour is through the material, so there is no paint film to flake or fade unevenly, and no repainting cycle to budget for. If you later want a different colour the surface can be coated with a breathable masonry paint, but that reintroduces maintenance you did not previously have. Sand and cement render is the opposite — it is painted, and the paint is the weather protection.
What is K-Rend?
K Rend is a manufacturer, not a type of render — the name is used so widely that it has become shorthand for their through-coloured silicone and scratch render systems. A K-Rend finish usually means a scratched, through-coloured render around 15 to 20mm thick. We fit it where a client wants that particular texture, and we will say plainly when a thin-coat silicone system would perform better on the wall in front of us.
Can you render over existing pebbledash?
Usually yes, and it is one of the most common jobs we are asked for. The test is whether the dash is still firmly bonded: we tap across the elevation listening for hollow areas, check for cracks and loose aggregate, and cut out anything that has debonded. A sound dash takes a levelling coat and then a modern smooth or lightly textured finish. A dash that is blowing in large patches is better removed.
Can render be repaired, or does the whole wall need doing?
It can often be repaired. A localised blown patch gets cut back to a sound edge, rebuilt in matching material and feathered in. The honest limitation is colour and texture: an aged render will never be invisibly matched, and on a thin-coat system a patch repair tends to show. Where appearance matters we will suggest re-rendering the whole elevation to a natural break rather than promising an invisible patch.
How much does rendering cost in Coundon?
As a guide, external rendering in Coundon typically costs between £40 and £70 per square metre, depending on the system used and whether scaffolding is required. A full three-bedroom house generally falls between £2,500 and £5,000, while larger detached properties are usually in the £9,000 to £12,000 range.
