Garden & Boundary Walls in Sherborne
Rendering garden, boundary and retaining walls with correct coping and weathering detail.
Our garden & boundary walls work in Sherborne starts with a free survey, because guessing at a render specification is how jobs go wrong.
The prevailing picture in Dorset is Purbeck and Portland stone, thatched cottages and substantial coastal housing. That means salt exposure on seafront properties and lime work on heritage stone comes up more here than almost anywhere else.
The area sees mild but exposed along the coast, which is the single biggest factor in how long any render lasts here. Seafront elevations in weymouth and swanage take salt as well as water, which attacks render bonds far faster than inland weathering.
When garden & boundary walls is the right call. Choose this for boundary, garden and retaining walls where you want the finish to match the house and actually survive the weather.

FAQs
Garden & Boundary Walls in Sherborne
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.
Can you render over existing render?
Sometimes, if the existing coat is completely sound and well-bonded. We hammer-test it first. Anything hollow has to come off, because covering failure just hides it.
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.
