Sand & Cement Render in Wells
Traditional two or three-coat sand and cement render, float or sponge finished, ready to paint.
Wells property owners come to us for sand & cement render for one of two reasons: something has failed, or the house looks tired.
Across Somerset, Bath stone, cob cottages, Georgian terraces and modern coastal housing dominates, and lime work on Bath stone and cob, coastal weathering at Weston-super-Mare is what we are called out to most often.
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 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 Wells
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 long does sand and cement render need to cure?
Allow three to seven days between coats and a further 28 days to fully cure before painting. Rushing the paint traps moisture and causes blistering.
Why does sand and cement render crack?
Because it is rigid. Common causes are an over-strong mix, no movement joints, applying in hot or freezing conditions, or substrate movement underneath.
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.
