Rendering in Lancaster

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

Across Lancashire, stone mill-town terraces, Victorian brick and exposed coastal housing at Blackpool dominates, and driving rain on the Fylde coast and failed cement render on stone terraces is what we are called out to most often.

The area sees high rainfall and severe coastal wind exposure, which is the single biggest factor in how long any render lasts here. Blackpool and morecambe sit fully exposed to irish sea weather, and render specifications that hold up inland regularly fail on the seafront.

How we approach a job in Lancaster

Every Lancaster 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.
