Damp-Proof Render in Market Harborough
Specialist waterproof and salt-resistant render systems for damp-affected and below-ground walls.
Damp-Proof Render in Market Harborough is work we take on regularly, and the Leicestershire housing stock is a big part of why.
Most of what we see around Market Harborough reflects the wider Leicestershire pattern — Victorian brick terraces, ironstone villages and substantial modern estates, and render repair on estate housing and lime work on ironstone villages.
Market Harborough sits in a part of the UK that gets a moderate, relatively dry inland climate — worth factoring into any render decision. The ironstone belt running through the east of the county needs lime, while the city and its suburbs are conventional brick suited to modern systems.
When damp-proof render is the right call. Choose a damp-proof system after flooding, alongside DPC works, on below-ground walls, and wherever salt contamination is destroying normal plaster.

FAQs
Damp-Proof Render in Market Harborough
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.
How long before I can decorate?
Allow a minimum of several weeks for the wall to dry, longer after flooding. Decorating too early traps moisture and the finish fails.
Can salt damage come back?
Not if the source of moisture is fixed and a salt-inhibiting system was used. Recurrence almost always means the underlying cause was never resolved.
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.
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.
