Silicone Render in Petts Wood, West Kingsdown, Kent, Medway and South East London

Progress Plastering uses approved BAUMIT silicone render systems and modern pump-applied application practices, galvanised bead profiles, reinforcement meshes and stainless steel finishing tools. These are high-performance and water-repellent renders designed for use in the UK climate. Our plastering company covers all locations in the Kent, Medway and South East London areas, offering a choice of services.

A silicone render is a breathable product that can shed water and is resistant to algae, resulting in a low-maintenance finish with up to 40 years of life expectancy. Charlie and his team of plasterers and renderers bring a combined 20 years of experience to your project.

Survey and Specification

Our onsite assessment confirms the substrate and insulation details, and our recommendations for preparation and repair work. We can also specify a silicone render from BAUMIT in any colour and any finish.

Preparation and Reinforcement

After cleaning, repairing and priming the exterior, a plasterer or a renderer will fit corner beads, reinforcement mesh and a basecoat to create a sound, breathable substrate to the required specification.

Application and Finishing

Our plastering company applies silicone render with specialist pumps for more consistent coverage, with hand finishing undertaken using stainless steel tools for even surfaces. We then tidy the worksite.

Silicone Render Specialists

A silicone render will repel driving rain but remain breathable, and this reduces dampness and protects the masonry. With lifespans of at least 25 years, a render will resist algae and contaminants so your walls look clean for longer. This cuts back on maintenance, and also reduces the need to paint property exteriors over the longer term.

Our use of approved materials from BAUMIT, and our impressive rating of 9.97 on Checkatrade, pair well with our 20 years of experience.

Applications for Silicone Render

Because our plasterers and renderers only use approved materials and innovative pump systems, beads, floats and mesh, the result will be an even and bonded coating that can applied to brickwork, blockwork, insulated facades and EWI substrates. A binder makes silicone render hydrophobic so that water can be repelled but it remains breathable.

The render will be able to shed water easily, stop moisture trapping in the substrate, and resist the impacts of algae for decades.

Frequently-Asked Questions

Prior to having a silicone render applied, a customer can learn more about what the job will entail by calling us. Here, we answer some of the most frequently-asked questions received from people who are considering using our plasterers and renderers for the first time.

If you have questions of your own, do not hesitate to contact us.

How Long Does a Silicone Render last?

Applied correctly, using systems from BAUMIT, silicone render should last for between 25 and 40 years. The eventual lifespan will depend on a substrate’s condition, the amount of maintenance undertaken and exposure. A site survey will help in identifying the correct system.

Can You Apply Silicone Render to Period Brickwork?

Yes. Because silicone render is breathable, it is perfect for use on older properties if the preparation work is of a high standard. Our plastering company assesses mortars, substrates and historic details then matches them up to find the correct basecoat and reinforcement.

Will Silicone Render Work on Pebbledash or Roughcast?

This is possible if the original surface is securely bonded or if it has been removed. Our initial survey will confirm whether we need to mechanically remove the original finish, re-prepare the substrate or use a bonding primer before applying full coats of silicone render.

Does Silicone Render Need Regular Maintenance?

Compared to paint, silicone render needs only the minimum of ongoing maintenance. Its hydrophobic performance reduces algae and staining, so maintenance is usually limited to washing down exposed areas. Our personnel can advise you on how to care for, and preserve, a render.

How Long Does a Rendering Job Take?

Timescales vary based on the property’s access or size, and how much preparation is needed. A small semi-detached build will take a few days to render, whereas jobs needing larger repairs take longer. We will always do our best to achieve a mutually agreeable timeframe.
