Acrylic Render in Blackwood
Tough, flexible acrylic thin-coat render with excellent colour retention and impact resistance.
Our acrylic render work in Blackwood starts with a free survey, because guessing at a render specification is how jobs go wrong.
The prevailing picture in Gwent is valley terraces, stone cottages and postwar estate housing. That means damp in solid-wall valley terraces and failed cement render comes up more here than almost anywhere else.
Blackwood sits in a part of the UK that gets high rainfall with sheltered valley conditions — worth factoring into any render decision. The valleys hold moisture and see limited sun on north-facing slopes, so algae and persistent damp are more common here than the rainfall alone would suggest.
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 Blackwood
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.
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.
