Local conditions bring a drier inland climate, and that has a direct bearing on which systems are worth specifying. Welwyn and letchworth garden-city stock carries design constraints that affect colour and finish choices more than technical performance.

FAQs
Garden & Boundary Walls in St Albans
Why does render fall off my garden wall?
Almost always water entering the unprotected top of the wall, then freezing. A properly overhanging coping with a drip is the single most important detail.
Can you match the render to my house?
Yes — we match colour and texture so the boundary reads as part of the property rather than an afterthought.
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.
