Hounslow: walls, weather and approvals
As well as Hounslow itself, we quote in Isleworth, Heston and Richmond. London's housing includes a large stock of Victorian and Edwardian solid-wall terraces, inter-war semis and post-war blocks, and conservation areas cover many streets — so planning is often the first question for external work.
Much of Greater London sits in the lower wind-driven rain exposure bands, which keeps the choice of finishes wide — though hilltop, coastal and exposed gable walls can still need a tougher specification, so we check the actual site.
Silicone suits most rendering jobs in Hounslow, either on its own or over insulation.

Permissions in England
For a house in Hounslow, 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.
Is silicone render maintenance-free?
Not quite. It stays cleaner than most renders because water runs off and dries quickly, but north-facing or tree-shaded walls can still gather algae. A gentle biocide wash every few years keeps it looking new. Pressure washing is avoided because it can damage the surface.

Silicone render in Hounslow: 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.
Can silicone render go over old render?
If the old render is sound and well bonded, often yes after cleaning and priming. Hollow or cracked areas are cut out and repaired first.
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.
