Silicone Rendering in Burgess Hill, West Sussex

Imagine never having to get the ladders out to repaint your house again. It sounds like a dream, doesn't it? Because silicone render is 'through-coloured' (meaning the pigment is mixed right into the material itself), the colour goes all the way through. If it gets a little scratch or a knock, you won't see a different colour underneath. It stays looking fresh and vibrant for years without a drop of paint.Most homeowners we speak to in Burgess Hill are looking for three things: durability, low maintenance, and a great finish. Silicone rendering ticks all those boxes, and then some. Here’s why it’s becoming the go-to choice for external renovations:Exceptional Flexibility: Unlike rigid traditional renders, silicone is elastic. It can handle the natural 'settling' of your house or temperature changes without cracking.Water Repellency: It’s naturally hydrophobic. Rainwater literally beads up and rolls off the surface, taking dirt with it. It’s essentially a self-cleaning wall.Full Breathability: This is a big one. It allows moisture vapour to escape from inside your walls, which is crucial for preventing damp and mould growth inside your home.Coastal Protection: Even though we're a bit inland in Burgess Hill, we still get that salt-heavy air and driving rain from the coast. Silicone render is designed to withstand the toughest UK weather.

You might be wondering what actually happens when we render a house. It’s a bit more involved than just a single layer of material. We start by preparing the 'substrate'—that’s your original brick or blockwork. Once everything is clean and ready, we apply a high-quality base coat. Inside that base coat, we embed a fibreglass reinforcement mesh. This is the secret to why silicone render is so crack-resistant; the mesh acts like a skeleton, holding everything together and absorbing any movement in the building.Finally, we apply the silicone top coat. This is the bit that gives your home its beautiful, textured finish. Whether you want a crisp white look or a softer, contemporary grey, the finish is uniform and flawless. We also offer External Wall Insulation (EWI) as part of the process. If your home is particularly cold or you're looking to slash your energy bills, we can fix high-performance insulation boards to your walls before the rendering begins. It's the ultimate way to modernise an older property in West Sussex.
