Smooth Render Finish in March
Flat, contemporary smooth render — the most demanding finish and the most striking when done right.
Our smooth render finish work in March starts with a free survey, because guessing at a render specification is how jobs go wrong.
Across Cambridgeshire, historic centres, extensive fenland brick and large modern developments around Cambridge and Peterborough dominates, and substrate movement on fenland ground rather than weather-driven render failure is what we are called out to most often.
The area sees the driest region in the UK, which is the single biggest factor in how long any render lasts here. Low rainfall means less algae and slower weathering, but peat and fen subsoils cause more movement cracking than anywhere else in england.
When smooth render finish is the right call. Choose smooth for contemporary architecture and sharp modern detailing — provided the substrate is sound enough to justify it.

FAQs
Smooth Render Finish in March
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.
Is smooth render more expensive?
Yes, typically 15-25% more than a comparable textured finish, because levelling the basecoat and working the topcoat consistently takes considerably more labour.
Can I have smooth render on an old house?
Often yes, but the substrate has to be levelled properly first, which adds cost. On a very irregular wall a fine texture is usually the better result.
