Everything your Radford property needs
What we fit and repair on walls in Radford, 1.5 miles north of the city centre — from a full re-render to a single patched elevation.
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
The textured, through-coloured finish most people mean by K-Rend, applied and scratched back once it has firmed up.
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
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
Crack and blown-render repair that deals with the cause first. Filling the surface over a live problem only buys a season.
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 Radford
Every quote starts with a survey. These are the things we look at on rendering work in Radford, and why each one changes the recommendation.
Crack pattern and width
We record where cracks run and how wide they are. Fine crazing is a surface matter; diagonal or stepped cracking over about 2mm near openings points at movement in the structure and needs investigating before any render goes on.
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.
Sealant and beading at openings
Window and door perimeters are where most water actually enters. We check the sealant joint, the reveal detail, and whether the render was beaded properly at the frame rather than butted up and left.
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.
What the wall is actually built of
Solid brick, cavity brick, concrete panel and blockwork all behave differently, and a solid wall needs a breathable build-up. Identifying the substrate decides the system, so we establish it before recommending anything.

Speak to us today0786 5778332Do you work on properties near Asda?
Yes. Asda is one of the landmarks we use to describe where we work in Radford, and we take on rendering jobs throughout the surrounding streets. Access and parking get checked at survey, so the quote fits the property.
Which areas near Radford do you also cover?
The closest are Coundon (about 0.8 miles away), Bishopsgate Green (about 0.9 miles away), Edgwick (about 1 mile away) and Foleshill (about 1 mile away). All of them are inside our normal working area, so a property on the boundary is no different to one in the middle of Radford. If you are unsure which area you count as, the postcode settles it.
Can you render in winter, or in the rain?
Not in freezing conditions. Cement-based renders should not be applied when the substrate is frozen or when temperatures are heading below about 5°C, because frost in an uncured render destroys the bond. Rain on fresh render washes out fines and streaks the colour. Winter rendering is possible in a settled mild spell with sheeted scaffold, but we will move the dates rather than gamble on the forecast.
Why does render crack?
Fine crazing is usually shrinkage as the render cures, or thermal movement on a large unjointed elevation. Straight cracks following a mortar line often mean movement in the wall behind. Diagonal or stepped cracks wider than about 2mm, especially near openings, can indicate structural movement and should be investigated before anything is re-rendered — otherwise the new render cracks in the same place.
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.
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.
How much does rendering cost in Radford?
As a guide, external rendering in Radford 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.
