Ketton, Rutland
Sand & Cement Render in Ketton
Traditional two or three-coat sand and cement render, float or sponge finished, ready to paint.
We carry out sand & cement render across Ketton and the surrounding Rutland area throughout the year.
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.
With a dry inland climate, specification matters more in this part of the country than a national price list suggests. England's smallest county is almost entirely built in soft local limestone and ironstone, so lime is the default rather than the exception.
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 Ketton
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.
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.
