Homes and walls in Falmouth
We also cover Truro and Redruth, close to Falmouth. Falmouth sits around 9 miles from Redruth. 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.
Parts of Cornwall fall in the higher wind-driven rain exposure bands, especially coastal and upland sites, so render specification, movement joints and detailing at cills, verges and the base of the wall matter more than usual.
If you're re-rendering in Falmouth, we'll show you what adding insulation under the silicone would cost at the same time.

Approvals in England
Planning in Falmouth follows England's national rules: similar-looking finishes on houses are usually permitted, while flats, commercial premises, conservation areas and streets under an Article 4 direction need an application.
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.
How is silicone render applied?
On masonry, the wall is prepared and any loose material removed. A base coat with glass-fibre mesh is applied over the whole wall to resist cracking, followed by a primer and the silicone finish, trowelled to its grain size. On EWI, the same base coat, primer and finish go over the insulation boards.

Silicone render in Falmouth: questions
How long does silicone render take to dry?
It's touch-dry within hours but needs dry weather above about 5°C for the first day or two to cure properly.
Does silicone render crack?
The mesh-reinforced base coat and the render's flexibility make cracking much less likely than with sand and cement, but structural movement in the wall can still show through.
Can I paint silicone render later?
Yes, with a compatible silicone paint, though through-coloured render rarely needs it.
Do you cover Falmouth?
Yes — we survey and quote silicone render in Falmouth (TR11) and nearby Truro, Redruth and Camborne, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
