Before we quote in Ashton-under-Lyne
As well as Ashton-under-Lyne itself, we quote in Stalybridge, Droylsden and Denton. Ashton-under-Lyne is about 6 miles from Manchester. The North West has one of the largest stocks of pre-1919 solid-wall terraces in England, alongside Pennine stone houses and post-war estates.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Greater Manchester: 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.
On tree-shaded or north-facing walls in Ashton-under-Lyne, silicone's water repellence helps it stay cleaner for longer.

Permissions in England
Before quoting in Ashton-under-Lyne, we check whether the property is in a conservation area, under an Article 4 direction or listed, because that decides whether changing the outside needs planning permission.
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 Ashton-under-Lyne: questions
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.
Can I paint silicone render later?
Yes, with a compatible silicone paint, though through-coloured render rarely needs it.
Do you cover Ashton-under-Lyne?
