Render Crack Repair in Truro
Diagnosing and repairing hairline, map and structural cracking in existing render.
Our render crack repair work in Truro starts with a free survey, because guessing at a render specification is how jobs go wrong.
Across Cornwall, granite and cob cottages, slate-hung walls and exposed coastal housing dominates, and driving-rain penetration and salt damage on exposed elevations is what we are called out to most often.
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 Truro
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.
Are hairline cracks in render serious?
Usually not on their own — fine shrinkage cracking is common and cosmetic. It matters because it lets water in behind the render, which then causes the serious failure.
Can you just fill the cracks?
Filling alone rarely lasts, because the movement that caused the crack is still there. Mesh reinforcement or a proper movement joint gives a repair that holds.
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.
