Render Crack Repair in Swindon
Diagnosing and repairing hairline, map and structural cracking in existing render.
We carry out render crack repair across Swindon and the surrounding Wiltshire area throughout the year.
Across Wiltshire, Bath and chalk stone cottages, Georgian townhouses and modern estates dominates, and lime render on chalk, clunch and Bath stone in conservation areas is what we are called out to most often.
The area sees a moderate inland climate with exposed downland, which is the single biggest factor in how long any render lasts here. Chalk and clunch are extremely soft and porous, and rendering them in cement causes the stone itself to break down behind the render.
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 Swindon
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.
