Render Painting & Coating in Cheltenham
Breathable masonry coatings and full-system paint applications over existing render.
Our render painting & coating work in Cheltenham starts with a free survey, because guessing at a render specification is how jobs go wrong.
Across Gloucestershire, Cotswold limestone, Regency terraces in Cheltenham and modern estate housing dominates, and lime render on Cotswold stone and conservation-compliant specifications is what we are called out to most often.
Cheltenham sits in a part of the UK that gets moderate rainfall with wetter conditions on the Cotswold escarpment — worth factoring into any render decision. Cotswold limestone is soft and porous, and a large proportion of the county sits within conservation areas where cement render is simply not permitted.
When render painting & coating is the right call. Choose painting when the render is structurally sound and you want a colour change or refresh without the cost of a full re-render.

FAQs
Render Painting & Coating in Cheltenham
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.
