Spray-Applied Render in Ely
Machine-sprayed render for fast, consistent application on large elevations and commercial work.
Our spray-applied render work in Ely starts with a free survey, because guessing at a render specification is how jobs go wrong.
Most of what we see around Ely reflects the wider Cambridgeshire pattern — historic centres, extensive fenland brick and large modern developments around Cambridge and Peterborough, and substrate movement on fenland ground rather than weather-driven render failure.
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 spray-applied render is the right call. Choose spray application on large elevations, terraces, apartment blocks and commercial buildings where consistency and programme speed matter.

FAQs
Spray-Applied Render in Ely
Is spraying messy?
There is overspray, so we mask windows, doors, boundaries and vehicles thoroughly before starting. Well-managed, it is no more disruptive than hand application.
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.
Will you need scaffolding?
For anything above single storey, yes — it is safer and produces a better finish than working off ladders or towers. Scaffold is included and itemised in the quote.
How long before I can paint new render?
Through-coloured systems need no painting at all. Sand and cement should cure for around 28 days before masonry paint goes anywhere near it.
