Bodmin, Cornwall
Silicone Render in Bodmin
Breathable, self-cleaning silicone thin-coat render in a through-colour finish that never needs painting.
Bodmin property owners come to us for silicone render for one of two reasons: something has failed, or the house looks tired.
Across Cornwall, granite and cob cottages, slate-hung walls and exposed coastal housing dominates, and driving-rain penetration and salt damage on exposed elevations is what we are called out to most often.
With severe driving rain and salt-laden coastal exposure, specification matters more in this part of the country than a national price list suggests. Exposure here is category-defining — dashed and roughcast finishes genuinely outperform smooth render on west-facing coastal walls.
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 Bodmin
Can you render over existing render?
Sometimes, if the existing coat is completely sound and well-bonded. We hammer-test it first. Anything hollow has to come off, because covering failure just hides it.
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 silicone render last?
A correctly installed silicone system carries a typical 25-year warranty and commonly performs well beyond that. Because the colour is integral rather than painted on, it ages by weathering evenly rather than by peeling.
Can silicone render be applied over old render?
Often yes, provided the existing render is sound, well-bonded and free of damp. We hammer-test and pull-test the substrate first — anything hollow or blown has to come off.
