Featured Project: House Rendering in Great Dunmow, Essex
Location: Great Dunmow, Essex
System:
Silicone render
Work completed: Full hack-off and re-render to the rear elevation + localised repair to the front, then silicone finish to match.
What the customer needed
The existing render had
large hollow (debonded) areas, especially to the rear. Because the hollows were extensive, patching wouldn’t have been a reliable long-term fix.
What we did (step-by-step)
- Hacked off the hollow/loose render back to a sound base (rear elevation)
- Prepared the surface and rebuilt the affected areas
- Completed a patch repair to the front elevation
- Applied a silicone render finish so the repaired areas blended in and the front matched the rear
Result
A
solid, consistent finish with a clean, modern look and improved weather resistance — with the front and rear matching visually.

What the customer needed
