Silicone Rendering in Bournemouth, Poole and the Dorset Coast.

Salt air, driving rain, 60 mph gusts off the Channel. Bournemouth and Poole properties take a beating from the weather. Sand and cement render handles it, but it cracks over time, traps moisture, and needs repainting every few years. Monocouche is better, but still absorbs more water than ideal in exposed spots.

Silicone render is different. It is water-repellent but breathable. Rain hits the surface and rolls off, but moisture vapour from inside the wall can still escape. That means no trapped damp. It is also flexible enough to absorb minor thermal movement without cracking, which matters on south-facing walls that heat up in summer and cool fast at night.

The self-cleaning surface is not marketing fluff. Dirt particles sit on top of the silicone rather than bonding to it. When it rains, the water sheets off and takes the dirt with it. After five years, a silicone-rendered property still looks like it was done last month. A sand and cement property does not.

It Costs More Upfront, And Saves Money Over 20 Years

We are not going to pretend silicone render is cheap. It costs more than monocouche or sand and cement. But it never needs painting, that is two or three rounds of scaffolding and masonry paint you never pay for. Over a 25-year lifespan, most homeowners come out ahead.

We install K-Rend and Weber silicone systems, both manufacturer-approved. Hundreds of colours available, with custom matching if you need it. For a full overview of all our render options, see our external rendering page. We cover the whole of Dorset, check our areas page for details.
