Silicone Render in Swindon
Breathable, self-cleaning silicone thin-coat render in a through-colour finish that never needs painting.
Silicone Render in Swindon is work we take on regularly, and the Wiltshire housing stock is a big part of why.
Across Wiltshire, Bath and chalk stone cottages, Georgian townhouses and modern estates dominates, and lime render on chalk, clunch and Bath stone in conservation areas is what we are called out to most often.
The area sees a moderate inland climate with exposed downland, which is the single biggest factor in how long any render lasts here. Chalk and clunch are extremely soft and porous, and rendering them in cement causes the stone itself to break down behind the render.
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 Swindon
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.
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.
Do you offer a guarantee?
Yes. Every job carries our workmanship guarantee, and where a full manufacturer-specified system is installed you also get the system warranty on top.
What time of year is best for rendering?
Spring through autumn is ideal. Render should not be applied in frost or in very hot direct sun, so winter work needs protection and settled conditions.
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.
