External Rendering in Arundel, West Sussex

Have you noticed hairline cracks appearing in your masonry? Or perhaps you've spotted patches of 'blown' render where the surface has pulled away from the brickwork? These aren't just cosmetic issues. In our neck of the woods, a small crack is an invitation for penetrating damp to move in, especially on exposed elevations facing the prevailing wind. Most homeowners we speak to in Arundel are tired of the constant cycle of patching up old sand and cement or repainting every few years. That's where modern rendering systems come in. We specialise in stripping back failing surfaces (or 'hacking off' as we call it) and applying breathable, flexible finishes that move with your house rather than cracking under pressure.

One of the most popular questions we get asked is: "Can I get a finish that I don't have to paint?" The answer is a resounding yes. We're big fans of silicone render and monocouche systems. These are 'through-colour' renders, meaning the pigment is mixed right into the material. If you accidentally scuff the wall with a bike or a ladder, the colour remains the same underneath. These systems are incredibly low-maintenance and are specifically designed to resist the algae and salt air we often deal with in the Arun area. Whether you want a traditional scraped finish or a crisp, modern look, these advanced materials provide a weatherproof shield that stays looking sharp for years.

When you're investing in your home's exterior, you want to know the job is being done by people who actually know the technical side of the materials. We are proud to be approved PRB Systems contractors. This isn't just a fancy badge; it means we've been trained and vetted by one of the leading manufacturers of high-performance renders. We understand the importance of things like movement beads and expansion joints—the little details that prevent cracks from forming later on. From 'dubbing out' uneven substrates to ensuring the perfect final texture, we follow strict industry standards to ensure your render lasts as long as it should.

If you live in one of Arundel's older properties with solid brick walls, you probably know how hard they can be to keep warm in the winter. External Wall Insulation (EWI) is a brilliant way to tackle this. By fixing high-quality insulation boards to your exterior walls before we apply the render, we can significantly improve your home's thermal efficiency. It’s like putting a tea cosy over your house. Not only does this help lower those eye-watering energy bills, but it also transforms the kerb appeal of your property at the same time. It’s a win-win for your comfort and your house value.
