Re-rendering in Cheltenham
From Cheltenham to Gloucester, we price re-rendering after a measured survey — no guesswork, and no work starts until the price is agreed in writing. On older houses in Cheltenham, stripping old render often reveals mortar repairs that are best done before re-rendering.

What we look for in Cheltenham
Surveys in Cheltenham also cover the surrounding GL50 district and towns such as Gloucester and Stroud. It's roughly 7 miles from Cheltenham to Gloucester, the largest town in Gloucestershire. The South West has many stone and solid-walled cottages, exposed coastal properties and a share of post-war system-built houses, including types such as the Cornish Unit.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Gloucestershire: sheltered town streets fare better than walls on high ground or facing the prevailing weather, and the render, beads and cill details are chosen with that in mind.
For Cheltenham re-render jobs, we check whether building control needs notifying for your wall area.

Approvals in England
For a house in Cheltenham, external insulation or render is often permitted development if it looks similar to the existing walls; conservation areas, flats, commercial buildings and listed buildings need permission or consent, so we check your address first.
Insulating or re-rendering more than half of a wall's area brings in Part L of the Building Regulations, so building control is notified and the wall is upgraded to about 0.30 W/m²K where practical.
Which new render should I choose?
On older solid walls, breathable lime or a mineral system is often safest. On sound modern masonry, silicone over a mesh base coat gives a durable, low-maintenance finish. If insulation is added, the finish is the one specified for the EWI system.

Re-rendering in Cheltenham: questions
Is it worth adding insulation?
On solid or concrete walls it's usually the most cost-effective time to do it, because access and preparation are already paid for.
How do I know if my render has failed?
Signs include cracks, hollow sound when tapped, bulging, pieces falling off, and damp patches inside behind cracked areas.
Can I re-render just one wall?
Yes, though matching colour and texture to the other walls may mean recoating them too.
Do you cover Cheltenham?
Yes — we survey and quote re-rendering in Cheltenham (GL50) and nearby Gloucester, Stroud and Evesham, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
