Cracked Render Repair
Failing render saved — no full re-render needed
Two competing quotes recommended stripping the entire render. We bridged the cracks with flexible cork — half the cost, twice the lifespan.

The challenge
Spider-web cracking across two elevations, water ingress at the lintels, and quotes of £22k–£28k to strip and re-render in monocouche.
Our solution
Local repairs to delaminated patches, breathable primer, and a 5 mm SprayCork system that flexes with seasonal movement instead of cracking with it.
Results
- Cost ~55% lower than full re-render
- Flexible coating accommodates ±2 mm movement
- No re-painting needed for 25 years
- Zero water ingress reported at 18-month check
