Westwood Heath sits in the CV4 district, 3.3 miles south-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 Westwood Heath property needs
The render systems we fit on Westwood Heath (CV4) 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
New pebbledash and roughcast, or covering existing dash with a smooth modern render for a complete transformation.
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
Insulated render systems that warm the home and cut energy bills while refreshing the exterior in one job.

What we check on a property in Westwood Heath
Every quote starts with a survey. These are the things we look at on rendering work in Westwood Heath, and why each one changes the recommendation.
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.
Exposure of each elevation
The prevailing-weather face takes far more water than a sheltered one and often fails first. We note exposure per elevation, which sometimes means the sensible job is one or two faces now rather than all four.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Speak to us today0786 5778332Have you worked around Greek orthodox Church of the Holy Transfiguration?
Greek orthodox Church of the Holy Transfiguration is in the part of Westwood 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.
Are you actually local to Westwood Heath?
Yes. Westwood Heath is around 3.3 miles south-west of the centre of Coventry, well within the area we work in every week. We are not a national firm subcontracting the job out.
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.
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.
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.
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.
How much does rendering cost in Westwood Heath?
As a guide, external rendering in Westwood 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.
