Dereham, Norfolk
Render Repair in Dereham
Cutting out blown, hollow and failed render and making good to match the existing finish.
Dereham property owners come to us for render repair for one of two reasons: something has failed, or the house looks tired.
The prevailing picture in Norfolk is flint and brick cottages, Norfolk carrstone, thatch and coastal housing. That means lime render on flint and clunch, coastal exposure on the north Norfolk coast comes up more here than almost anywhere else.
With the driest county in England with cold easterly coastal exposure, specification matters more in this part of the country than a national price list suggests. Flint walls need lime because the mortar does the work, not the stone — cement on flint causes the face to spall off in freezing weather.
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 Dereham
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.
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.
