Trusted render specialists serving Chatham.
Render on a typical Chatham home has to put up with a lot — driving rain off the South East, frost cycles through winter and the kind of damp grey weeks that punish any cracked or porous finish.
Blown render — where you tap the wall and it sounds hollow — is the next most common issue around Chatham. Once the render has separated from the substrate, water gets behind it, freezes, and lifts more of it away each winter.
Every job in Chatham starts the same way — a free survey where we work out why the render has failed, not just where. Patching a blown panel without fixing the cause behind it is the single most common mistake we see on previous repair work.

Render repair questions from Chatham homeowners
+What's the best time of year to repair render?
Spring through early autumn is ideal because render needs above-freezing temperatures to cure. We work year-round in Chatham with frost protection where needed, but if you can plan ahead, March to October gives the cleanest finish.
+Will the work be disruptive?
Render repair is external work — we don't need access inside your home unless we're chasing the cause of internal damp. Scaffold and access goes up at the start, comes down at the end, and our crews working in Chatham keep the site tidy throughout.
+How much does render repair cost in Chatham?
Cost depends on the failure type and how much render is affected. A small blown patch on a Chatham semi might be a few hundred pounds; a full elevation re-render with a silicone topcoat is significantly more. We give you a fixed written price after surveying — no estimates over the phone.
+Will damp inside go away once the render is fixed?
If the damp is being driven by failed render outside — and in Chatham that's the most common cause we see — then yes, once the wall can dry out properly the staining stops spreading and inside surfaces can be redecorated. We'll always identify the cause before quoting.
+How long does a render repair take?
Small patch repairs in Chatham are usually a one or two day job. A full elevation is typically a working week, including drying time between coats. We give you a clear schedule with the quote so you know what to expect.
