Dursley, Gloucestershire
Garden & Boundary Walls in Dursley
Rendering garden, boundary and retaining walls with correct coping and weathering detail.
We carry out garden & boundary walls across Dursley and the surrounding Gloucestershire area throughout the year.
Most of what we see around Dursley reflects the wider Gloucestershire pattern — Cotswold limestone, Regency terraces in Cheltenham and modern estate housing, and lime render on Cotswold stone and conservation-compliant specifications.
Dursley sits in a part of the UK that gets moderate rainfall with wetter conditions on the Cotswold escarpment — worth factoring into any render decision. Cotswold limestone is soft and porous, and a large proportion of the county sits within conservation areas where cement render is simply not permitted.
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 Dursley
Do retaining walls need special treatment?
Yes. Retaining walls hold back saturated ground, so drainage behind the wall must be working before rendering. Otherwise trapped water pushes the render off.
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.
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.
