External Wall Rendering in
Bath

They're the same thing — both terms refer to applying render to the outside walls of a property. "House rendering" is more commonly used for residential work; "external wall rendering" is the broader term that includes commercial and partial-elevation work.

Yes, but the paint needs to be properly prepared first. We use a chemical paint remover or mechanical abrasion to key the surface, then apply a bonding primer before the base coat. If the paint is in poor condition or there are many layers, full removal may be necessary.

Yes — we regularly render shop fronts, office buildings, pubs and industrial units across Bristol. Commercial work is typically quoted per elevation rather than per property, and we can work to your tenant's schedule including weekends.

A modern silicone or monocouche render system lasts 25-30 years on a Bristol property with proper maintenance. Acrylic systems last 15-20 years. Sand-and-cement and pebbledash systems (the ones we're typically replacing) last 10-20 years.

Yes — single-elevation rendering is one of our regular jobs. It's most commonly needed on north-facing walls that take the worst of the Bristol weather. Single-elevation work is proportionally more expensive per m² due to scaffold costs but is still very cost-effective compared with full re-render.

There's some mess during the strip-off phase (chunks of old render falling) but we contain this with debris netting and tidy up at the end of each day. The application phase is very clean — render is mixed in a sealed tub and applied with trowel or spray.

Yes — we work with most major insurers on storm damage, impact damage and escape-of-water claims. We can provide detailed quotes in the format insurers require and work with loss adjusters directly. £10m public liability insurance as standard.

All major render systems offer 100+ standard colours covering BS 4800 and RAL ranges. Bespoke colour matching is available for a small premium. We bring physical colour charts to the site visit so you can see how different colours will look in your specific light conditions.

Yes — we regularly render detached garages, garden offices, summerhouses and outbuildings as standalone projects or as part of a full property render. Single-storey outbuildings can usually be rendered without scaffold, which keeps the cost down.
