Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire
Silicone Render in Gerrards Cross
Breathable, self-cleaning silicone thin-coat render in a through-colour finish that never needs painting.
We carry out silicone render across Gerrards Cross and the surrounding Buckinghamshire area throughout the year.
Across Buckinghamshire, period cottages and chalk-built properties alongside Milton Keynes new-town housing dominates, and lime work on period stock and monocouche on newer estate housing is what we are called out to most often.
With a moderate inland climate, specification matters more in this part of the country than a national price list suggests. The split between conservation-area period property and modern new-build is unusually sharp here, and the two demand opposite specifications.
When silicone render is the right call. Choose silicone where you want a low-maintenance, breathable finish on a solid-wall or insulated property and you don't want to repaint every five to seven years.

FAQs
Silicone Render in Gerrards Cross
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 silicone render need painting?
No. The pigment is mixed through the topcoat. Painting it would actually reduce the breathability and self-cleaning behaviour you paid for.
Is silicone render breathable?
Yes, highly. It has a low water-vapour resistance, which is what makes it suitable for solid-wall, stone and lime-built properties where trapped moisture is the main risk.
How long does a rendering job take?
A typical three-bedroom semi is usually one to two weeks on site including scaffold, preparation, application and finishing. Weather, wall condition and the system chosen all move that.
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.
