St Ives, Cornwall
Spray-Applied Render in St Ives
Machine-sprayed render for fast, consistent application on large elevations and commercial work.
We carry out spray-applied render across St Ives and the surrounding Cornwall area throughout the year.
Cornwall is characterised by granite and cob cottages, slate-hung walls and exposed coastal housing, with driving-rain penetration and salt damage on exposed elevations the recurring theme on the properties we survey.
St Ives sits in a part of the UK that gets severe driving rain and salt-laden coastal exposure — worth factoring into any render decision. Exposure here is category-defining — dashed and roughcast finishes genuinely outperform smooth render on west-facing coastal walls.
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 St Ives
Can you match my existing render?
Usually, yes. We colour and texture match as closely as we can, though weathered render never matches a fresh batch exactly — we will be honest about how visible a patch will be.
Is spray render cheaper?
Per square metre on a large job, usually yes — fewer labour hours and less scaffold time. On a small house the plant setup cost outweighs the saving.
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.
