Lime Render in Sittingbourne
Breathable hydraulic and hot-mixed lime render for period, listed and solid-wall properties.
If you are weighing up lime render in Sittingbourne, 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.
The area sees drier than average inland, exposed on the coast, which is the single biggest factor in how long any render lasts here. 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 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 Sittingbourne
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.
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.
