Acrylic Render in Somerset
Tough, flexible acrylic thin-coat render with excellent colour retention and impact resistance.
Acrylic Render in Somerset is work we take on regularly, and the Somerset housing stock is a big part of why.
Across Somerset, Bath stone, cob cottages, Georgian terraces and modern coastal housing dominates, and lime work on Bath stone and cob, coastal weathering at Weston-super-Mare is what we are called out to most often. Somerset sits in a part of the UK that gets wet south-western conditions with coastal exposure — worth factoring into any render decision.
Local factor. Bath's georgian stone is subject to world heritage constraints, and cob in the levels needs lime for exactly the same reasons as in devon.
Is acrylic render right for a Somerset property?
Choose acrylic where impact resistance and colour retention matter more than maximum breathability — cavity walls, boards and EWI rather than solid stone.
That decision gets made at the survey, not on the phone. We will tell you plainly if a different system would serve the building better — including when a cheaper one would.

FAQs
Acrylic Render in Somerset — questions
Can you render over existing render?
Sometimes, if the existing coat is completely sound and well-bonded. We hammer-test it first. Anything hollow has to come off, because covering failure just hides it.
Are you insured?
Yes — full public liability cover, and we can send the certificate before we start. We are happy to provide RAMS for commercial and contractor work.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, with teams across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. If we are not the right firm for your location we will tell you rather than waste your time.
Is acrylic render better than silicone?
Neither is universally better. Acrylic is tougher and holds colour slightly better; silicone is more breathable and self-cleaning. Substrate type usually decides it.
Does acrylic render fade?
Very little. Acrylic binders are UV-stable and hold pigment well — fading is normally only noticeable on very deep or bright colours after many years.
How much does rendering cost?
It is priced by the square metre and depends on the system, the condition of the walls and access. Our guide-price tool gives an indicative range in about a minute, and the survey turns that into a fixed written quote.
