Render Repair in Stroud
Cutting out blown, hollow and failed render and making good to match the existing finish.
If you are weighing up render repair in Stroud, the starting point is what your walls are actually built from.
Gloucestershire is characterised by Cotswold limestone, Regency terraces in Cheltenham and modern estate housing, with lime render on Cotswold stone and conservation-compliant specifications the recurring theme on the properties we survey.
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 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 Stroud
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.
Can you match my existing render?
Usually, yes. We colour and texture match as closely as we can, though weathered render never matches a fresh batch exactly — we will be honest about how visible a patch will be.
Can blown render be patched or does it all need replacing?
If the failure is localised and the rest is well bonded, patching is the sensible option. Once more than roughly a third of an elevation is hollow, a full re-render usually works out better value.
Why did my render fail?
Most commonly water getting in from above — failed gutters, cracked sills, missing bell-cast beads — or an over-strong cement mix on a substrate that moves. We identify the cause as part of the survey.
