Silicone Rendering in
Emerson's Green

Emerson's Green is mostly 1990s-2000s executive detached and new-build estates with original acrylic renders that are starting to fail at the 25-30 year mark. We strip the acrylic, prep the substrate, and apply silicone — a significant upgrade in both lifespan and appearance.

Silicone render is the system we'd put on our own homes. It's the best of all worlds: through-colour, so no painting ever; hydrophobic, so Bristol's driving rain beads off; breathable, so the wall can dry out; and self-cleaning, so algae and dirt don't take hold. We install silicone systems from Johnstone's, K Rend, Parex and Weber across Bristol — typically on 1930s semis where the original sand-and-cement has failed, on detached new-builds where a clean modern finish is wanted, and on commercial buildings where a 25-year maintenance-free life matters. Every silicone system we install is backed by a 10-year manufacturer warranty, and priced with a fixed written quote after a free site visit.

Emerson's Green is one of Bristol's newest suburbs — most of the housing has been built since the late 1990s, much of it on the old Mangotsfield airfield site. The dominant property type is the 1990s-2000s executive detached, often 4-5 bed with double garages, finished in coloured render at the time of build. These original renders are now 20-30 years old and many need refreshing — typically with a silicone over-coat system rather than full strip-down. We also work on the newer builds around Lyde Green and the new-build developments on the edge of the suburb.
