Garden & Boundary Walls in Gravesend
Rendering garden, boundary and retaining walls with correct coping and weathering detail.
If you are weighing up garden & boundary walls in Gravesend, the starting point is what your walls are actually built from.
Kent is characterised by ragstone and flint cottages, oast houses, Victorian terraces and coastal housing, with coastal weathering at Margate and Dover, lime work on ragstone the recurring theme on the properties we survey.
With drier than average inland, exposed on the coast, specification matters more in this part of the country than a national price list suggests. Kentish ragstone is porous and traditionally lime-rendered, while the north kent coast takes some of the most persistent easterly exposure in the south east.
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 Gravesend
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.
Should both sides of a garden wall be rendered?
Yes, wherever possible. Rendering one face only lets water in through the other and trap it behind the rendered side.
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.
