Dorking, Surrey
Acrylic Render in Dorking
Tough, flexible acrylic thin-coat render with excellent colour retention and impact resistance.
If you are weighing up acrylic render in Dorking, the starting point is what your walls are actually built from.
Surrey is characterised by tile-hung and timber-framed cottages, Victorian villas and substantial modern housing, with high-specification smooth render and appearance-led refurbishment the recurring theme on the properties we survey.
With a moderate southern climate, specification matters more in this part of the country than a national price list suggests. Work here skews heavily toward discretionary upgrade rather than failure repair, so finish quality and colour matching carry unusual weight.
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 Dorking
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.
