Damp-Proof Render in Swindon
Specialist waterproof and salt-resistant render systems for damp-affected and below-ground walls.
Our damp-proof render work in Swindon starts with a free survey, because guessing at a render specification is how jobs go wrong.
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.
Local conditions bring a moderate inland climate with exposed downland, and that has a direct bearing on which systems are worth specifying. Chalk and clunch are extremely soft and porous, and rendering them in cement causes the stone itself to break down behind the render.
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 Swindon
Will you need scaffolding?
For anything above single storey, yes — it is safer and produces a better finish than working off ladders or towers. Scaffold is included and itemised in the quote.
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.
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.
