Render Repair in Poole
Cutting out blown, hollow and failed render and making good to match the existing finish.
Getting render repair right in Poole depends far more on the substrate and the exposure than on the product name.
Dorset is characterised by Purbeck and Portland stone, thatched cottages and substantial coastal housing, with salt exposure on seafront properties and lime work on heritage stone the recurring theme on the properties we survey.
Local conditions bring mild but exposed along the coast, and that has a direct bearing on which systems are worth specifying. Seafront elevations in weymouth and swanage take salt as well as water, which attacks render bonds far faster than inland weathering.
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 Poole
How do I know if my render has blown?
Tap it with your knuckle or a small hammer. Solid render sounds dull and dense; blown render sounds hollow and drummy. Bulging and hairline map-cracking are other signs.
Will the repair match my existing render?
We colour and texture match as closely as possible, but weathered render never matches fresh render exactly. On a visible front elevation, rendering the full wall gives a cleaner result.
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.
