Street, Somerset
Damp-Proof Render in Street
Specialist waterproof and salt-resistant render systems for damp-affected and below-ground walls.
We carry out damp-proof render across Street and the surrounding Somerset area throughout the year.
Most of what we see around Street reflects the wider Somerset pattern — Bath stone, cob cottages, Georgian terraces and modern coastal housing, and lime work on Bath stone and cob, coastal weathering at Weston-super-Mare.
Street sits in a part of the UK that gets wet south-western conditions with coastal exposure — worth factoring into any render decision. 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 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 Street
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.
