Brislington, Bristol
Acrylic Render in Brislington
Tough, flexible acrylic thin-coat render with excellent colour retention and impact resistance.
Brislington property owners come to us for acrylic render for one of two reasons: something has failed, or the house looks tired.
Across Bristol, dense Victorian terraces, Georgian stone in the older centre and postwar suburban estates dominates, and cement render trapping damp in solid-wall Victorian terraces is what we are called out to most often.
Brislington sits in a part of the UK that gets a mild, wet south-western climate — worth factoring into any render decision. Much of the older stock is solid-wall bath and pennant stone, where lime rather than cement is the correct specification.
When acrylic render is the right call. Choose acrylic where impact resistance and colour retention matter more than maximum breathability — cavity walls, boards and EWI rather than solid stone.

FAQs
Acrylic Render in Brislington
Can acrylic render be used on old solid walls?
We generally advise against it. Solid walls need to breathe, and acrylic's lower vapour permeability can trap moisture. Silicone or lime is the better route there.
How thick is acrylic render?
The decorative topcoat is 1.5mm or 2mm depending on grain size, applied over a reinforced basecoat of around 6mm.
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.
