Trowbridge, Wiltshire
Sand & Cement Render in Trowbridge
Traditional two or three-coat sand and cement render, float or sponge finished, ready to paint.
Sand & Cement Render in Trowbridge is work we take on regularly, and the Wiltshire housing stock is a big part of why.
Most of what we see around Trowbridge reflects the wider Wiltshire pattern — Bath and chalk stone cottages, Georgian townhouses and modern estates, and lime render on chalk, clunch and Bath stone in conservation areas.
Local conditions bring a moderate inland climate with exposed downland, and that has a direct bearing on which systems are worth specifying. Chalk and clunch are extremely soft and porous, and rendering them in cement causes the stone itself to break down behind the render.
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 Trowbridge
Do I need planning permission to render my house?
Usually not on a standard house, but you will if the property is listed, in a conservation area, or if rendering would significantly change its appearance. We flag it at survey.
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.
