Everything your Earlsdon property needs
What we fit and repair on walls in Earlsdon, 0.9 miles west of the city centre — from a full re-render to a single patched elevation.
Silicone Thin-Coat Render
Vapour-permeable silicone render in a colour that runs right through the material, so there is no paint film to flake or fade.
K-Rend & Monocouche
Through-coloured scratch renders around 15 to 20mm thick, built up and scratched back to an even texture. Hard-wearing and paint-free.
Sand & Cement Rendering
Conventional sand and cement, finished smooth or textured and then painted. Lower material cost, with repainting as the trade-off.
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
Cutting out blown, cracked or hollow render and making good so the repair blends and stays put.
External Wall Insulation
Insulation board fixed and bonded to the outside of the wall, then rendered over — warmth and a new finish in a single operation.

What we check on a property in Earlsdon
Every quote starts with a survey. These are the things we look at on rendering work in Earlsdon, and why each one changes the recommendation.
The sill and reveal detail
Window sills need enough projection to throw water clear of the new face. Where added thickness leaves a sill too shallow, we say so at quote stage rather than discovering it with the scaffold up.
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.
Existing paint and coatings
Masonry paint, textured coatings and old waterproofers all affect adhesion and breathability. Some have to come off entirely; others can be bonded over. Which it is depends on what is there and how well it is stuck.
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.
Movement joints on long elevations
A large unjointed elevation will crack somewhere. We check whether existing joints were provided and where new ones need to fall, so the render is allowed to move instead of tearing.
Tapping the whole elevation
We tap across every rendered face listening for the dull, hollow note that means the render has lost its bond. It is the only reliable way to find debonded areas, which are frequently much larger than the visible crack suggests.

Speak to us today0786 5778332Do you work on properties near Hearsall Community Academy?
Yes. Hearsall Community Academy is one of the landmarks we use to describe where we work in Earlsdon, and we take on rendering jobs throughout the surrounding streets. Access and parking get checked at survey, so the quote fits the property.
What else is near Earlsdon that you cover?
Earlsdon sits next to Spon End (about 0.3 miles away), Cheylesmore (about 1.3 miles away), Coundon (about 1.3 miles away) and Bishopsgate Green (about 1.3 miles away). We work across the whole of that cluster, which is part of why we can usually get to a survey quickly — we are often already nearby.
What is silicone render and why is it used so often now?
Silicone thin-coat render is a through-coloured topcoat applied over a reinforced basecoat. The colour runs through the material rather than sitting on top as paint, it stays vapour-permeable so the wall can still breathe, and the silicone makes the surface water-repellent so rain beads off and carries dirt with it. It also flexes slightly, which is why it resists the hairline crazing that catches out rigid cement render.
Should pebbledash be removed or rendered over?
Rendering over is cheaper, faster and less disruptive, and it works well when the existing dash is sound. Removal makes sense when the dash is extensively hollow, when it has been applied over a damp-proof course and is bridging it, or when the finished wall thickness would cause problems at window reveals and the roofline. We give you the honest answer after tapping the walls, not before.
Will rendering stop damp or improve energy efficiency?
Rendering keeps driving rain off the wall, so it helps with penetrating damp through porous brickwork. It does nothing for rising damp, condensation or a bridged damp-proof course — those have other causes, and rendering over them makes diagnosis harder. On its own, render adds very little insulation; if warmth is the aim, insulated render is the system that actually delivers it.
Do I need planning permission to render my house?
For most houses, re-rendering is permitted development and needs no application. It is not automatic though: flats and maisonettes are excluded, and listed buildings, conservation areas and places covered by an Article 4 direction all need permission first. It is worth checking your property status with the local authority before work is booked rather than after.
How much does rendering cost in Earlsdon?
As a guide, external rendering in Earlsdon 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.
