Render Crack Repair in Camborne
Diagnosing and repairing hairline, map and structural cracking in existing render.
Camborne property owners come to us for render crack repair for one of two reasons: something has failed, or the house looks tired.
The prevailing picture in Cornwall is granite and cob cottages, slate-hung walls and exposed coastal housing. That means driving-rain penetration and salt damage on exposed elevations comes up more here than almost anywhere else.
With severe driving rain and salt-laden coastal exposure, specification matters more in this part of the country than a national price list suggests. Exposure here is category-defining — dashed and roughcast finishes genuinely outperform smooth render on west-facing coastal walls.
When render crack repair is the right call. Choose crack repair when the render is otherwise sound and well-bonded but cracking is letting water in or spoiling the appearance.

FAQs
Render Crack Repair in Camborne
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.
Will you need scaffolding?
For anything above single storey, yes — it is safer and produces a better finish than working off ladders or towers. Scaffold is included and itemised in the quote.
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.
