Render Repair in Dawlish
Cutting out blown, hollow and failed render and making good to match the existing finish.
Our render repair work in Dawlish starts with a free survey, because guessing at a render specification is how jobs go wrong.
Most of what we see around Dawlish reflects the wider Devon pattern — cob and thatch, stone farmhouses and extensive coastal housing, and cement render on cob causing structural decay.
Local conditions bring high rainfall and exposed coastal conditions, and that has a direct bearing on which systems are worth specifying. Cob is unforgiving — it must be finished in lime, and cement rendering over cob is one of the most damaging things that can be done to a devon property.
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 Dawlish
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.
