Rendering in Dunstable
Render, repair, pebbledash removal and external wall insulation for Dunstable homes — with a free survey before any price is quoted.
Across Bedfordshire, victorian terraces in luton and bedford alongside large 1960s-80s estates and newer commuter developments dominates, and cement render cracking on 1960s estate housing and tired pebbledash on interwar semis is what we are called out to most often.
Local conditions bring a drier eastern climate with modest annual rainfall, and that has a direct bearing on which systems are worth specifying. Clay subsoils across much of the county mean seasonal movement, so movement joints and mesh reinforcement matter more here than the rainfall alone suggests.
How we approach a job in Dunstable
Every Dunstable enquiry starts the same way: we come out, tap-test the existing coat, check the substrate behind it and look for the reason anything has failed. Blown render is nearly always a symptom — of a leaking gutter, a bridged damp course, a cracked sill or an over-strong mix — and re-rendering over an unresolved cause simply buys a couple of years.
You get a written, itemised quotation after the survey, with the specification named so you can compare like for like.

FAQs
Rendering in Dunstable — common questions
How long does a rendering job take?
A typical three-bedroom semi is usually one to two weeks on site including scaffold, preparation, application and finishing. Weather, wall condition and the system chosen all move that.
Do I need planning permission to render my house?
Usually not on a standard house, but you will if the property is listed, in a conservation area, or if rendering would significantly change its appearance. We flag it at survey.
Will you need scaffolding?
For anything above single storey, yes — it is safer and produces a better finish than working off ladders or towers. Scaffold is included and itemised in the quote.
How long before I can paint new render?
Through-coloured systems need no painting at all. Sand and cement should cure for around 28 days before masonry paint goes anywhere near it.
Do you take a deposit?
For most domestic jobs we take a deposit to cover materials and scaffold, with the balance on completion. Terms are set out clearly in the written quote.
Can you match my existing render?
Usually, yes. We colour and texture match as closely as we can, though weathered render never matches a fresh batch exactly — we will be honest about how visible a patch will be.
