Rendering in Colchester & Essex.
Rendering done well lifts a property and protects it for decades. Done badly it cracks, stains and traps damp. We use silicone and monocouche systems for a self-coloured, low-maintenance finish — or traditional sand-and-cement where the property calls for it.
Our rendering scope
- Silicone (silicone-silicate) thin-coat render
- Monocouche through-coloured render
- Traditional sand & cement render
- K-Rend & Weber systems
- Render repair & overcoat
- Bead detailing & feature reveals
How a rendering job runs
- Step 1
Substrate prep
We hack off any blown render, fit beads, mesh corners and apply a base coat where needed.
- Step 2
Base coat
Two-coat base with embedded alkali-resistant mesh — the foundation of a crack-free finish.
- Step 3
Top coat
Self-coloured silicone or monocouche applied wet-on-wet, ruled flat, then sponged or scraped to the chosen texture.
- Step 4
Detailing
Bell-cast at ground level, drip beads under sills, clean stop-beads at junctions.

Rendering — your questions answered
Silicone or monocouche — which is better?+
Silicone is more flexible and breathable — usually our default. Monocouche is heavier and best on solid masonry.
How long does render last?+
A well-applied silicone system lasts 25–30 years before needing anything more than a wash.
Can render cover existing pebble-dash?+
Yes — we can overcoat with a base coat and mesh, provided the existing dash is sound.
