Render Painting & Coating in Lydney
Breathable masonry coatings and full-system paint applications over existing render.
We carry out render painting & coating across Lydney and the surrounding Gloucestershire area throughout the year.
The prevailing picture in Gloucestershire is Cotswold limestone, Regency terraces in Cheltenham and modern estate housing. That means lime render on Cotswold stone and conservation-compliant specifications comes up more here than almost anywhere else.
With moderate rainfall with wetter conditions on the Cotswold escarpment, specification matters more in this part of the country than a national price list suggests. 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 Lydney
Can you paint over silicone render?
You can, but it removes the self-cleaning and through-colour benefits you paid for and commits you to a repainting cycle. We usually advise cleaning instead.
How long does masonry paint last?
A good breathable system on properly prepared render typically gives ten to fifteen years. Cheap paint on unprepared render can start failing within two.
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.
