St Ives, Cornwall
Render Repair in St Ives
Cutting out blown, hollow and failed render and making good to match the existing finish.
St Ives property owners come to us for render repair for one of two reasons: something has failed, or the house looks tired.
Most of what we see around St Ives reflects the wider Cornwall pattern — granite and cob cottages, slate-hung walls and exposed coastal housing, and driving-rain penetration and salt damage on exposed elevations.
St Ives sits in a part of the UK that gets severe driving rain and salt-laden coastal exposure — worth factoring into any render decision. Exposure here is category-defining — dashed and roughcast finishes genuinely outperform smooth render on west-facing coastal walls.
When render repair is the right call. Choose repair over a full re-render when failure is localised, the bulk of the elevation is sound, and the cause can be fixed.

FAQs
Render Repair in St Ives
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.
Can you render over existing render?
Sometimes, if the existing coat is completely sound and well-bonded. We hammer-test it first. Anything hollow has to come off, because covering failure just hides it.
Are you insured?
Yes — full public liability cover, and we can send the certificate before we start. We are happy to provide RAMS for commercial and contractor work.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, with teams across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. If we are not the right firm for your location we will tell you rather than waste your time.
