K Rend specialists in Great Yarmouth
We apply K Rend to houses, bungalows, porches, extensions and garden walls across Great Yarmouth, Gorleston, Caister, Lowestoft and the rest of Norfolk and Suffolk, for homeowners and for builders on new builds.
It's what our Facebook reviewers talk about most: house fronts, extensions and a whole street-facing elevation transformed. Drag the slider below to see one of them.
What is K Rend?
K Rend is a brand of silicone render. Unlike traditional sand and cement render, which is painted after it's applied, K Rend is through-coloured: the colour is mixed into the render itself, so it runs all the way through. It's water-repellent, so rain beads and runs off rather than soaking in, but it's also breathable, so moisture inside the wall can still escape.
Why K Rend suits coastal Norfolk
- Stands up to the weather. Homes near the coast take salt air and wind-driven rain. A water-repellent render keeps walls drier.
- No repainting. Because the colour runs right through, there's no paint to flake or fade in patches.
- Breathable. Moisture can escape from the wall instead of being trapped behind a hard coating.
- Clean, modern look. A crisp finish in a wide range of colours, from bright whites to creams and greys.
- Works with cladding. Pairs neatly with timber or composite cladding on modern extensions and new builds.
Re-rendering over old render and pebble dash
Many older properties around Great Yarmouth have tired sand and cement render or pebble dash that's cracked, stained or blown. Sometimes the new render can go over the top after preparation; where the old finish is loose or hollow, it has to come off first so the new render bonds properly. We'll check the walls when we quote and explain the options.
How a K Rend job runs
- Free quote and colour choice. We look at the property, talk through colours and finishes, and give you a clear price.
- Scaffolding and protection. Windows, doors and surrounding areas are masked and protected.
- Preparation. Loose render removed, beads fitted to corners and edges, and the walls prepared for the system.
- Base coat and mesh. A base coat goes on with reinforcing mesh to help resist cracking.
- Top coat. The coloured K Rend finish is applied and textured.
- Clean up. Masking removed and the site left tidy.
Render needs the right conditions to cure, so it isn't applied in frost or heavy rain. We plan the work around the weather.
