Damp-Proof Render in Wigston
Specialist waterproof and salt-resistant render systems for damp-affected and below-ground walls.
Wigston property owners come to us for damp-proof render for one of two reasons: something has failed, or the house looks tired.
Across Leicestershire, Victorian brick terraces, ironstone villages and substantial modern estates dominates, and render repair on estate housing and lime work on ironstone villages is what we are called out to most often.
With a moderate, relatively dry inland climate, specification matters more in this part of the country than a national price list suggests. 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 Wigston
Does damp-proof render cure rising damp?
No — it manages the consequences. The damp-proof course or the source of water has to be dealt with separately. The render then holds back residual moisture and salts while the wall dries.
Is waterproof render the same as tanking?
Related but not the same. Tanking is a higher-specification below-ground system designed to resist water under pressure; waterproof render is for above-ground damp resistance.
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.
Do you offer a guarantee?
Yes. Every job carries our workmanship guarantee, and where a full manufacturer-specified system is installed you also get the system warranty on top.
What time of year is best for rendering?
Spring through autumn is ideal. Render should not be applied in frost or in very hot direct sun, so winter work needs protection and settled conditions.
