Render Repair in Pontypool
Cutting out blown, hollow and failed render and making good to match the existing finish.
We carry out render repair across Pontypool and the surrounding Gwent area throughout the year.
Most of what we see around Pontypool reflects the wider Gwent pattern — valley terraces, stone cottages and postwar estate housing, and damp in solid-wall valley terraces and failed cement render.
Local conditions bring high rainfall with sheltered valley conditions, and that has a direct bearing on which systems are worth specifying. The valleys hold moisture and see limited sun on north-facing slopes, so algae and persistent damp are more common here than the rainfall alone would suggest.
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 Pontypool
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.
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.
