Kendal, Cumbria
Acrylic Render in Kendal
Tough, flexible acrylic thin-coat render with excellent colour retention and impact resistance.
We carry out acrylic render across Kendal and the surrounding Cumbria area throughout the year.
Cumbria is characterised by traditional slate and stone construction, lakeland cottages and exposed rural properties, with driving rain, saturation and moss growth on north-facing walls the recurring theme on the properties we survey.
With the highest rainfall in England, specification matters more in this part of the country than a national price list suggests. With the wettest conditions in england, breathability is not optional — sealing a cumbrian stone wall in cement causes damage within a few winters.
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 Kendal
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.
