Render Painting & Coating in Canterbury
Breathable masonry coatings and full-system paint applications over existing render.
We carry out render painting & coating across Canterbury and the surrounding Kent area throughout the year.
Across Kent, ragstone and flint cottages, oast houses, Victorian terraces and coastal housing dominates, and coastal weathering at Margate and Dover, lime work on ragstone is what we are called out to most often.
The area sees drier than average inland, exposed on the coast, which is the single biggest factor in how long any render lasts here. Kentish ragstone is porous and traditionally lime-rendered, while the north kent coast takes some of the most persistent easterly exposure in the south east.
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 Canterbury
Why is my masonry paint peeling?
Almost always trapped moisture behind a non-breathable coating, or paint applied over a chalky, unstabilised surface without a primer.
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.
