Many homes have existing render systems that are out of date. The latest ones are permeable so they the structure breathe, solving internal damp problems and stopping the damp from getting in.

Yes, there’s something for every type of property. You don’t need to do the whole house, the top half or a render panel looks good and breaks up the brickwork.

Render systems come in various colours, and can be made up to any standard British colour.

The average price for rendering a house is £45 to £50 a square meter.

A quality render system shouldn’t need touching up or repainting.

Using a High Polymer Permeable Render System won’t affect the brickwork, as it still allows it to breathe.

Homeowners should always source a top quality job and if possible use a company recommended by previous customers. Also remember lower-cost rendering isn’t necessarily good value – you get what you pay for.
