Lydney, Gloucestershire
Acrylic Render in Lydney
Tough, flexible acrylic thin-coat render with excellent colour retention and impact resistance.
Acrylic Render in Lydney is work we take on regularly, and the Gloucestershire housing stock is a big part of why.
Across Gloucestershire, Cotswold limestone, Regency terraces in Cheltenham and modern estate housing dominates, and lime render on Cotswold stone and conservation-compliant specifications is what we are called out to most often.
Lydney sits in a part of the UK that gets moderate rainfall with wetter conditions on the Cotswold escarpment — worth factoring into any render decision. Cotswold limestone is soft and porous, and a large proportion of the county sits within conservation areas where cement render is simply not permitted.
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 Lydney
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.
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.
