Rendering in Cheltenham

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

Most of what we see around Cheltenham reflects the wider Gloucestershire pattern — Cotswold limestone, Regency terraces in Cheltenham and modern estate housing, and lime render on Cotswold stone and conservation-compliant specifications.

The area sees moderate rainfall with wetter conditions on the Cotswold escarpment, which is the single biggest factor in how long any render lasts here. Cotswold limestone is soft and porous, and a large proportion of the county sits within conservation areas where cement render is simply not permitted.

How we approach a job in Cheltenham

Every Cheltenham 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.

If a cheaper specification would do the job, we will say so. If it would not, we will tell you why.
