Render Crack Repair in Street
Diagnosing and repairing hairline, map and structural cracking in existing render.
Street property owners come to us for render crack repair for one of two reasons: something has failed, or the house looks tired.
Somerset is characterised by Bath stone, cob cottages, Georgian terraces and modern coastal housing, with lime work on Bath stone and cob, coastal weathering at Weston-super-Mare the recurring theme on the properties we survey.
The area sees wet south-western conditions with coastal exposure, which is the single biggest factor in how long any render lasts here. 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.
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 Street
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.
What causes cracks in render?
Shrinkage during curing, an over-strong mix, thermal movement, missing movement joints, substrate movement, or genuine structural movement. The pattern tells you which.
When do cracks mean structural problems?
Diagonal cracks from window and door corners, cracks wider than about 5mm, cracks that are visibly growing, or cracking matched by internal cracking. Those need a structural engineer, not a renderer.
