When to book rendering repairs
Render that has cracked, bulged or fallen away lets water in behind it, so repairs are worth doing before the damage spreads.
- Cracks in the renderHairline and wider cracks are opened, cleaned and filled with render so rain cannot run in behind.
- Blown or hollow patchesSections that sound hollow when tapped have lost their grip on the wall and are cut out and replaced.
- Damaged corners and edgesKnocked beads, chipped corners and broken reveals are rebuilt so the elevation is straight again.
What happens on the day
A render repair starts by finding how far the damage runs.
- Find the extent of the damageThe wall is tapped across the area to locate every hollow patch, and the failed render is marked for removal.
- Cut back and prepareLoose render is taken off to a sound edge, and the exposed wall is cleaned and wetted so new render bonds.
- Render and finishNew coats are applied, levelled and finished to match the texture and line of the existing wall.

WhatsAppDo you repair walls that have cracked or blown?
Yes. Cracked and blown render is cut back to firm edges and repaired in sand and cement.
How can I tell if render is blown?
Tap the wall. A hollow sound means the render has come away from the masonry behind it, even when the surface looks intact.
Can you repair render in winter?
External rendering is planned for April to September, when the weather suits it. Photos help us see what a repair involves before then.
Will the repair match the rest of the wall?
The new render is finished to the same texture as the old, though painting the whole elevation gives the most even colour.
