At Spectrum, we provide expert repair services for all types of render. Our team is equipped to handle a variety of damages, ensuring durable and aesthetically pleasing results that blend seamlessly into your facade.
Some common render repair services include:
Cracked render repairs
With a specialist process, our teams can restore your render. We can transform even tired and worn-looking render, leaving your building looking as good as new. Repairing cracked walls or crack stitching is not only an important visual repair but will improve the stability and longevity of your walls.
Render patching
Sometimes, you may find that there are only small patches of render that need repairs. We can use our unique systems to clean the entire facade and match the repairs to the rest of the facade. We ensure any repairs we make blend in with the overall appearance of the building.
Hairline crack repairs
It is common to have hairline cracks appear in the modern render. This may not seem like an issue, but it could indicate a more serious defect. It is essential to have these cracks properly inspected and repaired as soon as possible. We can carry out hairline crack repairs for all types of render.
Crumbling render repairs
Modern render on external walls can begin to crumble over time. Our render repair process ensures that the render is repaired in line with the manufacturer’s guidelines, giving your building protection against the elements for years to come.
Acrylic, synthetic and cement render repairs
When carrying out render repairs, it is essential to understand that there are different types of render that require different repair processes. We provide bespoke solutions that respect the unique properties of each material, as well as the manufacturer’s guidelines, from acrylic to synthetic and traditional cement renders.
Sto and Weber render repairs
We can carry out repairs to all types of Sto and Weber render, ensuring all damaged render is repaired in line with the manufacturer's guidelines. Ensuring you get a perfect finish, every time, no matter what the materials.
Lime render repairs
Careful preparation of both masonry and mortar mix will help to prevent the failure of lime mortar repairs. Our team is skilled in working with this material and can carry out repairs, even in difficult-to-access areas.
Yes - as well as render repairs to hairline cracks and crumbling sections, we also offer a render cleaning service. We know how much a building’s looks can be affected by weathered render. That is why we offer both render cleaning and restoration services, returning the render to its pre-weathered condition.
Neglected render may be weathered, dirty or covered in algae, but this can all be easily rectified with the right equipment and experience. Our job is to make your render look great again without it costing you a fortune.
Choosing an experienced and professional contractor is important, as inappropriate cleaning methods can cause damage. Pressure washers should be avoided as this forces water deeper into the render, which can cause problems when the cold weather comes around, leading to costly further repairs.
Render is the hard exterior shell that protects the outside of buildings against the elements. However, after time and weathering, this outer shell can show signs of deterioration and ageing. The colour can start to fade, render can become brittle, and cracks begin to break the outer seal and allow water to penetrate.
The effects of time are inevitable, but there are ways you can extend the lifespan of your render. The first is to choose a good quality render and a reliable professional to apply it. The second is to have professional property maintenance contractors maintain the external facades of your property regularly. Maintenance companies, like Spectrum, will clean and repair rendered properties with careful consideration for their age and materials.
If cracks and defects do begin to appear, we can repair and protect your render from further damage. It may be that only a small repair is required; in which case, we can patch up the surface to ensure it is strong for many more years to come. In cases where more extensive repairs are required, we will be able to recommend options for you to choose from.
When carrying out render repairs, it is vital to understand that different types of render require different repair processes. Make sure you speak to an expert about the best solution for your facade. For example, synthetic render has different properties to cement-based render and therefore must be repaired differently.
To repair render, our professionals will begin by assessing risks and removing damaged render. Next, we’ll repair or replace the underlying mesh, apply a new render compound, and sand it for a smooth finish. Colour matching is essential to ensure the repaired areas blend seamlessly with the original render. Altogether, our process addresses both structural and aesthetic concerns, following specific methods for different types of render like acrylic, lime or cement.
Our team of render technicians is constantly researching and developing new ways to clean, repair and maintain render. We have experience with all types of render issues and can recommend the most effective solution for any situation.
We recommend getting any render repairs looked into and repaired as soon as possible, which will save both time and money in the long run. The longer hairline cracks in render are left, the bigger and deeper they become. This can result in delamination, which is where pieces of render detach from the surface below and can fall from the facade, posing a serious safety risk.
