Rendering in Devon

We render houses right across Devon, from full re-renders to repairs, pebbledash removal and external wall insulation.

Cob and thatch, stone farmhouses and extensive coastal housing is what defines the Devon housing stock, and it shapes every render decision we make here. The area sees high rainfall and exposed coastal conditions, and the problem we are called out to most is cement render on cob causing structural decay.

Worth knowing locally. Cob is unforgiving — it must be finished in lime, and cement rendering over cob is one of the most damaging things that can be done to a devon property.

What that means for your specification

There is no single right render for Devon — there is a right render for your wall. A solid-stone cottage and a 1990s cavity-block semi a mile apart need opposite specifications, and the survey is where we establish which you have. Where the substrate needs to breathe we specify lime or a high-permeability silicone system; where it does not, tougher acrylic and mineral options open up.

The area sees high rainfall and exposed coastal conditions, which is the single biggest factor in how long any render lasts here.

FAQs

Rendering in Devon — 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.
