Everything your Little Heath property needs
The render systems we fit on Little Heath properties, and the repairs we carry out where existing render has cracked, blown or let water through.
Silicone Thin-Coat Render
A thin through-coloured topcoat over a reinforced basecoat. It flexes with the wall, sheds rain, and never needs painting.
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
The traditional two-coat system. Still the right answer for matching existing work and for repairs where a modern topcoat would stand out.
Pebbledash & Roughcast
We still apply dash and roughcast where it suits the property — and we take tired dash back to a smooth modern finish where it does not.
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 Little Heath
Every quote starts with a survey. These are the things we look at on rendering work in Little Heath, and why each one changes the recommendation.
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.
Access and scaffold requirements
Anything above ground-floor level needs proper scaffold, and the pitch, boundary positions and access route decide what that costs and how long it stands. We work this out at survey so the quote holds.
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.
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.
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.
Airbricks and ventilation
Rendering over an airbrick blocks the under-floor ventilation it exists to provide. We locate every vent and airbrick first and sleeve them through the new render rather than losing them.

Speak to us today0786 5778332Have you worked around Cubbington Road Open Space?
Cubbington Road Open Space is in the part of Little Heath we cover, and rendering work there is routine for us. Every quote still starts with a survey of the actual property, because no two are the same even on one street.
Do you only work in Little Heath, or the surrounding streets too?
Both. Work in Little Heath usually takes us into Bell Green (about 0.5 miles away), Foleshill (about 0.5 miles away), Courthouse Green (about 0.6 miles away) and Edgwick (about 0.7 miles away) as well, and we quote for all of them on the same terms. There is no boundary line that changes the price.
What is external wall insulation, and is it different from rendering?
External wall insulation is insulation board mechanically fixed and bonded to the outside of the wall, then rendered over with a reinforced basecoat and a topcoat. You get a rendered finish, so it looks like a render job, but it is really an insulation job with a render skin. It thickens the wall, so window reveals, sills, the roofline and all the rainwater goods have to be reworked to suit.
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.
Do you work on commercial and rental property as well as homes?
Yes. We render commercial units, blocks of flats and rental property, and we are used to working around tenants, trading hours and access restrictions. For landlords and managing agents we can report on condition with photographs and prioritise the elevations that are letting water in, so spend can be staged across more than one budget year if it needs to be.
Why is water getting through my render?
Render is a weather shield, not a waterproof membrane, and it relies on detailing. Water usually gets in through cracks, through failed sealant at window and door frames, over the top of render that has no bellcast or drip bead, or behind render that has been taken down past the damp-proof course so it bridges it. We trace the path first; re-rendering over the same detail just hides it.
How much does rendering cost in Little Heath?
As a guide, external rendering in Little Heath 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.
