Insulation Rendering Gloucester
Insulating your external walls is a great way to save money on your energy bills and is known to increase property value. This benefits homeowners and massively benefits commercial properties (as they tend to use more energy each day and per year). Insulation combines perfectly with rendering, as you are able to insulate the inside of the wall and then apply the rendering to protect the insulation from the elements.
Up to 35% of all the heat in your property in the winter is lost through your walls. When your heating is on, this makes the system less efficient and makes it cost more to run. This is because walls absorb heat from your heating and also allow the cold to permeate through the walls into your property. If you combine insulation rendering with other insulation products, such as loft insulation and upgrading windows and doors, you can see significant savings in your energy bills.

When is it Time to Upgrade or Replace Your Current Render?
Many projects involve upgrading and enhancing the current render on residential or commercial properties. This is where our expertise comes into play – we can improve your current render or provide a complete replacement when required. There are multiple signs that your render might need attention or replacement.
Wall cracking is one of the primary reasons property owners seek render repair or replacement. Cracks make walls appear worn and tired, while damage to this protective layer can leave your building vulnerable. When wall insulation shows through render damage, replacement or improvement becomes crucial.
Bulging and soft patches represent another clear sign that render needs repair or replacement. These issues suggest the adhesion has failed, which allows moisture to get in and damage the wall. This leads to various potential problems, especially with structural walls, requiring render removal and new system installation. Damp areas on walls often appear with this particular problem.
Testing your render by tapping with a hammer or chisel helps determine if the render still has proper adhesion to the wall. This is useful since damage between rendering and wall surfaces isn’t always obvious. Hollow sounds when tapping usually indicate the render needs re-adhesion, which typically means improving your old render.
In serious cases, rendering damage can affect the wall’s structural integrity. We assist all clients by preparing the existing render for improvement, or we can remove the render when we arrive, before applying new rendering. We offer render consultation and can review photographs to provide professional advice. Whether your rendering needs repair or improvement, we work on both commercial and residential properties.

Rendering is often combined with insulation rendering or external wall insulation to massively increase the efficiency of properties. As up to 35% of the heat in a property is lost from inefficient walls, upgrading your external walls with insulation saves you money on your energy bills and is well known to increase overall property value.
Rendering is used to improve the look of the exterior of properties and walls that aren’t attached to properties. There is a wide range of different finishes to choose from, which allows you to choose your desired style. This also increases property value as your property becomes more attractive to buyers when it’s time to sell.
One of the most popular uses for rendering is to replace, repair or upgrade the current render. If your wall already has rendering on it, then you will know that rendering is appropriate, and you can upgrade your render whenever you want or when a problem exists.
If you are thinking about rendering your walls or are interested in external wall insulation, rendering is used on walls that are made out of brick or stonework. We can advise you on whether your walls are appropriate for rendering. These are usually on houses from the late Victorian period or slightly later for external walls. Most external walls are built out of brick or stone, so they are appropriate for rendering. Get in touch to find out more if you have any questions about your current walls.
Up to 35% of all heat lost is from inefficient walls. Walls absorb heat, which makes it much hotter in the winter, and they also absorb heat from heating systems – meaning it takes longer and takes more energy to heat the home in the winter. External wall insulation is added as an inside layer to the rendering, and this is how we insulate properties with rendering. The rendering is then applied to keep the insulated layer protected from the elements. This keeps your property insulated. As you will save a significant amount on your energy bills in the winter, this also increases the overall value of your property. Combined with other insulation, this can amount to colossal savings over many years.
If your render becomes chipped or damaged, then this can cause potential environmental damage to the insulation material. You should also regularly inspect your walls for mould build-up, as well as damp patches or warping. This could also indicate that water has managed to penetrate the insulation, which will make the insulation less efficient over time. Lightly tapping the render can also indicate if it’s become unbonded, if you can hear hollow sounds when you tap it. You can tap the render with a chisel or hammer lightly.
Rendering makes your property look better, which makes it more popular when it’s time to sell. If your walls are showing signs of wear and tear or just don’t look new anymore, then rendering massively improves the look of the property, and this makes it more appealing when it’s time to sell. It will also make the property look better when it’s time to advertise it.
Combining rendering with external wall insulation (insulation rendering) saves you money on your energy bills, so this will always increase your overall property value. This is particularly the case for commercial buildings, as they will save more money on energy bills, since they use much more energy each day than homes do.

Rendering is often used to repair external walls and improve how they look. Damaged or old walls can ruin the image of your property, as it’s the first thing that people see, as well as other areas such as the front door. Rendering is perfect for walls that are made with brickwork or stone and can be used to enhance the wall and repair it as well.
If your walls are looking very damaged, then that’s the clearest way to know that they need repairing. Old render can become cracked and damaged, which will also need a repair. You can also check your wall for damp spots, and if your property isn’t as insulated as it could be, then you will massively benefit from insulation rendering. The old insulation can fail as well. Check the wall to see if it’s hollow by lightly tapping it with a hammer or the handle of a chisel.
Insulation rendering or external wall insulation is a great way to insulate your home, as up to 35% of heat loss in the winter can be caused by poor wall insulation. Once you invest in insulation for the outside of your property, you should also consider additional insulation. You should consider loft insulation, which can further increase the efficiency of heating, as well as upgrades to glazing, windows and doors. When you combine all of these methods of insulation, you can expect to see significant savings on your energy bills, which will then make a faster return on your investment. As energy prices are always changing, unless you are lucky enough to fix them at a good rate, this will save you a lot of money in the long run. You can also consider investing in other energy-efficient products, such as solar panels for your home, to increase your efficiency and save money every year.
You can take some steps to prepare for rendering before our team visits our property. If you are confident, you can remove the layer of rendering with a chisel or a power scraper if you have access to this. If you are not confident in preparing the wall for rendering, then we can handle this when we arrive at the property. We can advise you on this and will be more than happy to prepare and handle all of the rendering if this is easier for you.
Rendering is ideally completed in mild conditions, so the weather will have an effect on the project. In some rare cases, the project will be delayed if there is extreme weather. We will not be able to install the render effectively, and it can also cause issues when the render starts to dry. If there is extreme weather, then we will advise you on this, as well as the expected delays that this will cause if it happens. It’s quite rare for this to happen, but it’s most likely to happen in the autumn and the winter.
We have finance options available to help offset the initial cost of investment. This allows you to pay for your insulation rendering or external wall insulation with manageable monthly repayments rather than having to pay for your installation in a one-off payment. You can then make immediate savings on your energy bills, which balances against your monthly payment and allows you to enjoy your rendering without having to pay upfront.
