Rendering in Penzance

Render, repair, pebbledash removal and external wall insulation for Penzance homes — with a free survey before any price is quoted.

The prevailing picture in Cornwall is granite and cob cottages, slate-hung walls and exposed coastal housing. That means driving-rain penetration and salt damage on exposed elevations comes up more here than almost anywhere else.

Local conditions bring severe driving rain and salt-laden coastal exposure, and that has a direct bearing on which systems are worth specifying. Exposure here is category-defining — dashed and roughcast finishes genuinely outperform smooth render on west-facing coastal walls.

How we approach a job in Penzance

Every Penzance 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.

We will survey the property, tell you what the walls actually need, and put it in writing with a fixed price.
