Trusted render specialists serving Gillingham.
From bay-fronted semis to newer estate builds, render in Gillingham ages in fairly predictable ways. South East weather, older substrates and historic patch jobs all play a part — and once water finds a way in, the damage spreads quickly.
The most common call-out we get from homeowners in Gillingham is cracking. Hairline cracks are usually cosmetic and easy to fix; structural cracks following a diagonal line are a different story and need stitching before any topcoat goes on.

Render repair questions from Gillingham homeowners
+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 Gillingham keep the site tidy throughout.
+Do I need to re-render the whole house, or just patch it?
Almost never the whole house. Most Gillingham jobs are localised — a blown patch under a sill, cracking around a bay, an elevation that's taken the brunt of the weather. We'll only recommend full re-rendering if the existing system has genuinely failed across the board.
+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 Gillingham with frost protection where needed, but if you can plan ahead, March to October gives the cleanest finish.
+Will damp inside go away once the render is fixed?
If the damp is being driven by failed render outside — and in Gillingham 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 Gillingham 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.
