What we look for in Golborne
As well as Golborne itself, we quote in Newton-le-Willows, Ashton-in-Makerfield and Leigh. It's roughly 15 miles from Golborne to Manchester, the largest town in Greater 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.
If you're re-rendering in Golborne, we'll show you what adding insulation under the silicone would cost at the same time.

Approvals in England
Planning in Golborne 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.
If the work covers more than half of a wall, or a quarter of the building's whole envelope, it counts as renovating a thermal element, with a target of about 0.30 W/m²K where feasible.
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 Golborne: questions
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 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.
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.
