House rendering is one of the most effective ways to improve the appearance, weather resistance and energy efficiency of a property in a single project. A well-applied render protects your walls from moisture and frost, gives your home a clean, modern kerb appeal, and can significantly increase its value.

With over 25 years of hands-on experience, we work with homeowners, landlords and developers across the whole of Kent and South East London. We're a family-run business – not a franchise, not a call centre – which means you always deal directly with the people doing the work.

We carry 10/10 on Checkatrade, hold TrustMark and Which? endorsement, and are fully insured with insurance-backed guarantees available on all major works.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Rendering costs vary depending on the size of the property, the system chosen, the condition of the existing walls, and the level of preparation required. A standard semi-detached house typically falls in the range of £3,000–£8,000 for a full re-render, though EWI systems will cost more due to the insulation materials involved. We always visit the property before providing a price — there's no accurate way to quote without seeing the substrate and measuring the area properly. All quotes are free and come with no obligation.

  • Most residential rendering jobs take between 2 and 5 days depending on the size of the property and the system being applied. A straightforward silicone render on a two-bedroom terrace may be completed in 2–3 days. A larger detached property with full scaffolding and EWI could take up to 2 weeks. We'll give you a clear timeframe as part of your free quote, and we'll always let you know if anything changes during the job.

  • A professionally applied silicone or through-coloured render system will typically last 20–30 years with minimal maintenance. Traditional sand and cement render generally has a lifespan of 10–15 years, depending on exposure conditions and substrate quality. The longevity of any render system depends significantly on proper surface preparation and correct application — both of which are central to how we work.

  • In most cases, no. Rendering your home falls within permitted development rights and doesn't require planning permission. However, if your property is a listed building or sits within a conservation area, you'll need to check with your local planning authority before work begins. We cover areas across Kent and South East London where conservation designations apply, and we're happy to advise on this during your free quote visit.

  • This depends on the condition of the existing pebbledash. If it's sound, well-bonded, and structurally intact, it may be possible to render over it with the right preparation and a suitable system. If it's hollow, cracked, or poorly bonded, it will need to be removed first — rendering over failing substrate will not produce a lasting result. We always assess the existing surface before recommending an approach.

  • Sand and cement render is a traditional, hard-wearing finish that's been used for decades. It's durable and cost-effective, but it's rigid — which means it can crack as a building moves slightly over time, and it needs painting to achieve a coloured finish. Silicone render is a modern system that's flexible, hydrophobic (water-repellent), breathable, and available in a wide range of integral colours. It requires less maintenance and generally lasts longer without the need for repainting. We offer both and will recommend the right option for your property and budget.
