Professional render repair service for damaged, cracked, or blown external wall render. We repair small patches or large areas, matching existing finishes and restoring wall protection against weather.
Damaged render lets water penetrate walls causing damp, deterioration, and heat loss. Our repair service fixes cracks, patches blown areas, and restores the protective render layer properly.
We assess the damage cause, prepare surfaces correctly, and apply render that matches your existing finish. Proper preparation and application prevents repairs failing quickly or looking patchy.
Common Render Problems
| Issue | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Blown render | Water penetration or poor adhesion | Remove loose render, treat wall, reapply |
| Cracks | Settlement or thermal movement | Fill cracks, reinforce if needed |
| Flaking surface | Weather damage or poor finish coat | Remove damaged surface, reapply finish |
| Damp patches | Render failure allowing water in | Repair render, treat underlying damp |
Types of Render We Repair
| Render Type | Notes |
|---|---|
| Sand and cement | Traditional render, most common |
| Lime render | Common on older properties |
| Modern thin-coat | Requires specialist matching |
| Pebbledash | Needs exact stone match |
| Textured finishes | Pattern matching important |
We source materials to match existing render colour, texture, and finish so repairs blend invisibly.

What to Expect
Step 1: Damage Assessment We inspect the extent of damage, identify the cause, and check for underlying issues like damp. We provide a detailed quote explaining the repair approach.
Step 2: Preparation and Repair Damaged render is removed, surfaces are prepared and treated as needed. New render is applied in layers matching the existing system.
Step 3: Finishing and Curing The final coat is applied and finished to match existing texture. Render needs time to cure properly before painting if required.
🔧 DIY Tips
Small hairline cracks can be filled with exterior filler as a temporary measure. Don't ignore blown render as it gets worse quickly. Painting over render problems doesn't fix them. For anything beyond minor cracks, professional repair prevents bigger problems developing.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
Render repairs need dry weather and temperatures above 5°C to cure properly. New render may look slightly different in colour initially but will weather to match. If large areas are blown, the underlying cause needs addressing or repairs will fail again.
