Swadlincote, Derbyshire
Lime Render in Swadlincote
Breathable hydraulic and hot-mixed lime render for period, listed and solid-wall properties.
If you are weighing up lime render in Swadlincote, the starting point is what your walls are actually built from.
Derbyshire is characterised by gritstone and limestone cottages, mill-town terraces and modern estates, with frost damage at altitude and inappropriate cement render on stone cottages the recurring theme on the properties we survey.
Swadlincote sits in a part of the UK that gets cold, wet upland conditions in the Peak District — worth factoring into any render decision. Properties in the peak sit high and exposed, so the same specification that works in derby city can fail badly a few miles up the valley.
When lime render is the right call. Choose lime for any pre-1919, listed, stone, cob or solid-wall property — and wherever a conservation officer is involved.

FAQs
Lime Render in Swadlincote
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.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, with teams across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. If we are not the right firm for your location we will tell you rather than waste your time.
