Sand & Cement Render in Bangor
Traditional two or three-coat sand and cement render, float or sponge finished, ready to paint.
Bangor property owners come to us for sand & cement render for one of two reasons: something has failed, or the house looks tired.
The prevailing picture in Down is stone and brick cottages, coastal villas and modern housing. That means coastal salt and driving rain on exposed peninsula properties comes up more here than almost anywhere else.
With wet with strong coastal exposure on the Ards peninsula, specification matters more in this part of the country than a national price list suggests. The ards peninsula is exposed on both sides, so properties there weather from multiple aspects rather than one prevailing direction.
When sand & cement render is the right call. Choose sand and cement for boundary walls, outbuildings, patch repairs to match existing render, and budget-led projects on stable substrates.

FAQs
Sand & Cement Render in Bangor
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.
Does sand and cement render need painting?
Yes. Unlike through-coloured systems it has no integral colour, so it needs masonry paint — and repainting roughly every five to eight years.
Is sand and cement render waterproof?
It is water-resistant rather than waterproof, and a waterproofing additive is often included. It should never be used as the sole defence against penetrating damp.
