Acrylic Render in Stroud
Tough, flexible acrylic thin-coat render with excellent colour retention and impact resistance.
Stroud property owners come to us for acrylic render for one of two reasons: something has failed, or the house looks tired.
The prevailing picture in Gloucestershire is Cotswold limestone, Regency terraces in Cheltenham and modern estate housing. That means lime render on Cotswold stone and conservation-compliant specifications comes up more here than almost anywhere else.
The area sees moderate rainfall with wetter conditions on the Cotswold escarpment, which is the single biggest factor in how long any render lasts here. 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 Stroud
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.
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.
