Render Repair in Ketton
Cutting out blown, hollow and failed render and making good to match the existing finish.
Ketton property owners come to us for render repair for one of two reasons: something has failed, or the house looks tired.
Rutland is characterised by limestone and ironstone cottages and village housing, with lime render on soft local stone in a heavily conservation-controlled county the recurring theme on the properties we survey.
Ketton sits in a part of the UK that gets a dry inland climate — worth factoring into any render decision. England's smallest county is almost entirely built in soft local limestone and ironstone, so lime is the default rather than the exception.
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 Ketton
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.
Are you insured?
Yes — full public liability cover, and we can send the certificate before we start. We are happy to provide RAMS for commercial and contractor work.
