Render Repair in Bath
Cutting out blown, hollow and failed render and making good to match the existing finish.
If you are weighing up render repair in Bath, the starting point is what your walls are actually built from.
The prevailing picture in Somerset is Bath stone, cob cottages, Georgian terraces and modern coastal housing. That means lime work on Bath stone and cob, coastal weathering at Weston-super-Mare comes up more here than almost anywhere else.
The area sees wet south-western conditions with coastal exposure, which is the single biggest factor in how long any render lasts here. Bath's georgian stone is subject to world heritage constraints, and cob in the levels needs lime for exactly the same reasons as in devon.
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 Bath
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.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, with teams across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. If we are not the right firm for your location we will tell you rather than waste your time.
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.
