Render painting and re-coating in Elm Park. Cleaned, stabilised and coated with breathable masonry paint or a full re-coat system. Fixed quotes.
Not every tired wall needs re-rendering. A sound render that has gone green and chalky usually needs cleaning, stabilising and coating, which costs a fraction of the alternative. The trick is being honest about which one you have.
Washed down, treated for algae, and a stabilising primer where the surface is chalky.
On solid 1930s walls the coating has to let moisture out. Standard masonry paint on the wrong wall causes damp rather than curing it.
Where a thin coat will not do it, a proper re-coat system gives a new finish without stripping the render.
If the render underneath is failing we will tell you that coating it is money wasted.

Usually not. Algae is a north-facing and damp-shade problem, not a structural one. Cleaning and treating it, then coating, costs far less than re-rendering and it is what most Elm Park walls actually need.
On a modern cavity wall, often yes. On a solid 1930s wall a non-breathable paint traps moisture in the brick and you get damp inside. The coating has to suit the wall, not just the colour chart.
On a properly cleaned and stabilised wall, ten years or so. On one that was coated over algae and chalk, two. As with everything on a wall, the preparation is the job.
