Smooth Render Finish in Taunton
Flat, contemporary smooth render — the most demanding finish and the most striking when done right.
Taunton property owners come to us for smooth render finish for one of two reasons: something has failed, or the house looks tired.
The prevailing picture in Somerset is Bath stone, cob cottages, Georgian terraces and modern coastal housing. That means lime work on Bath stone and cob, coastal weathering at Weston-super-Mare comes up more here than almost anywhere else.
With wet south-western conditions with coastal exposure, specification matters more in this part of the country than a national price list suggests. Bath's georgian stone is subject to world heritage constraints, and cob in the levels needs lime for exactly the same reasons as in devon.
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 Taunton
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.
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.
