Specialist render repair across Rochester.
Walk down most streets in Rochester and you'll spot it: hairline cracks creeping across the front elevation, a hollow patch under a window, or a tide-mark of green growth where the render has gone soft. It's the standard story for South East properties.
Algae and green staining on render in Rochester is mostly cosmetic, but it's a sign the surface has gone porous. Left untreated, that porosity turns into freeze-thaw damage and the kind of chunky failures that need full re-rendering.
For most Rochester repairs we work elevation by elevation: cut out blown sections back to a sound edge, prep, mesh and undercoat, then a colour-matched topcoat blended into the surrounding render so the repair vanishes.

Render repair questions from Rochester homeowners
+How much does render repair cost in Rochester?
Cost depends on the failure type and how much render is affected. A small blown patch on a Rochester 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.
+Can you colour-match my existing render?
Yes — that's the bulk of what we do in Rochester. Modern silicone and acrylic topcoats can be tinted to almost any shade, and on traditional sand-and-cement we match by mix, sand source and finish technique. On most repairs the patch is invisible from the street within a week.
+Do I need to re-render the whole house, or just patch it?
Almost never the whole house. Most Rochester 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.
+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 Rochester keep the site tidy throughout.
+Will damp inside go away once the render is fixed?
If the damp is being driven by failed render outside — and in Rochester 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.
