Ferndown, Dorset
Lime Render in Ferndown
Breathable hydraulic and hot-mixed lime render for period, listed and solid-wall properties.
Lime Render in Ferndown is work we take on regularly, and the Dorset housing stock is a big part of why.
Most of what we see around Ferndown reflects the wider Dorset pattern — Purbeck and Portland stone, thatched cottages and substantial coastal housing, and salt exposure on seafront properties and lime work on heritage stone.
Ferndown sits in a part of the UK that gets mild but exposed along the coast — worth factoring into any render decision. Seafront elevations in weymouth and swanage take salt as well as water, which attacks render bonds far faster than inland weathering.
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 Ferndown
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.
