Lime Render in Swindon
Breathable hydraulic and hot-mixed lime render for period, listed and solid-wall properties.
Our lime render work in Swindon starts with a free survey, because guessing at a render specification is how jobs go wrong.
Wiltshire is characterised by Bath and chalk stone cottages, Georgian townhouses and modern estates, with lime render on chalk, clunch and Bath stone in conservation areas the recurring theme on the properties we survey.
Swindon sits in a part of the UK that gets a moderate inland climate with exposed downland — worth factoring into any render decision. Chalk and clunch are extremely soft and porous, and rendering them in cement causes the stone itself to break down behind the render.
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 Swindon
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.
Do you take a deposit?
For most domestic jobs we take a deposit to cover materials and scaffold, with the balance on completion. Terms are set out clearly in the written quote.
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.
