Burntwood, Staffordshire
Lime Render in Burntwood
Breathable hydraulic and hot-mixed lime render for period, listed and solid-wall properties.
Our lime render work in Burntwood starts with a free survey, because guessing at a render specification is how jobs go wrong.
Staffordshire is characterised by Victorian terraces, Potteries housing and extensive postwar estates, with render repair on terraced housing and frost damage in the Staffordshire Moorlands the recurring theme on the properties we survey.
The area sees moderate rainfall with exposed moorland to the north, which is the single biggest factor in how long any render lasts here. The moorlands around leek sit high and cold, and specifications suited to stoke can fail on the same job a few miles north.
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 Burntwood
Is lime render suitable for listed buildings?
Yes, and it is usually required. We work to conservation specifications and can supply mix details and samples for listed building consent.
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.
Will you need scaffolding?
For anything above single storey, yes — it is safer and produces a better finish than working off ladders or towers. Scaffold is included and itemised in the quote.
How long before I can paint new render?
Through-coloured systems need no painting at all. Sand and cement should cure for around 28 days before masonry paint goes anywhere near it.
