Bude, Cornwall
Textured Render in Bude
Textured render finishes from fine grain to heavy relief, matched to the property's character.
Our textured render work in Bude starts with a free survey, because guessing at a render specification is how jobs go wrong.
Most of what we see around Bude reflects the wider Cornwall pattern — granite and cob cottages, slate-hung walls and exposed coastal housing, and driving-rain penetration and salt damage on exposed elevations.
The area sees severe driving rain and salt-laden coastal exposure, which is the single biggest factor in how long any render lasts here. Exposure here is category-defining — dashed and roughcast finishes genuinely outperform smooth render on west-facing coastal walls.
When textured render is the right call. Choose a textured finish where you want visual depth, or where the substrate is irregular enough that a smooth finish would show every undulation.

FAQs
Textured Render in Bude
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.
Does texture affect maintenance?
Yes. Deeper textures hold slightly more dirt and organic growth, particularly on shaded elevations. Silicone binders offset most of that.
Can I see a sample first?
Always. We produce a sample panel on site in your chosen grain and colour before we commit to the full elevation.
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.
