Mid Glamorgan
Rendering in Bridgend
Render, repair, pebbledash removal and external wall insulation for Bridgend homes — with a free survey before any price is quoted.
The prevailing picture in Mid Glamorgan is valley terraces, former colliery housing and modern estates. That means pebbledash and cement render failure on valley terraces comes up more here than almost anywhere else.
With high rainfall in sheltered but damp valley locations, specification matters more in this part of the country than a national price list suggests. Much of the terraced stock was rendered in cement during the 1960s and 70s and is now failing en masse across the valleys.
How we approach a job in Bridgend
Every Bridgend 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.

FAQs
Rendering in Bridgend — common questions
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.
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.
