Lime Render in Redditch
Breathable hydraulic and hot-mixed lime render for period, listed and solid-wall properties.
Our lime render work in Redditch starts with a free survey, because guessing at a render specification is how jobs go wrong.
Most of what we see around Redditch reflects the wider Worcestershire pattern — timber framing, sandstone cottages, Victorian brick and modern estates, and lime work on timber-frame and render repair on postwar estates.
The area sees moderate rainfall with wetter conditions on the Malverns, which is the single biggest factor in how long any render lasts here. The malvern ridge is noticeably wetter and more exposed than the severn vale, and specifications should reflect which side of the county a property sits on.
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 Redditch
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.
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.
