Rendering & Exterior Coatings In Brighton & Burgess Hill
Cracked, stained or tired-looking render?
Re-rendering, silicone render and weatherproof coatings across Sussex
As well as the roof, we look after the walls beneath it - re-rendering and coating tired, cracked and damp-prone exteriors across Brighton, Burgess Hill and the surrounding Sussex towns. Old cracked render lets water into the wall and looks tired; modern through-coloured silicone renders and weatherproof coatings seal the wall against our wet, windy coastal weather, resist algae, and completely change how a house looks - with no repainting needed. Whether it's a patch repair, a full re-render or a protective coating over sound render, we'll recommend what your walls actually need.

What To Look For In A Rendering & Exterior Coatings Specialist
The Right Render For The Wall
Not every wall suits every render. Older solid-wall and period properties often need a breathable lime-based or breathable silicone system so the wall can release moisture, while modern cement renders can trap damp on the wrong wall. A good renderer chooses the system to suit the building, not a one-size-fits-all mix.
Preparation Is Everything
Render and coatings only last if the surface underneath is sound and properly prepared. Blown areas need cutting out, the wall needs cleaning and priming, and any damp cause needs addressing first. A finish slapped over crumbling render or an untreated damp problem will fail fast, however good the product.
Breathability & Damp
The most common rendering mistake is sealing a wall so tightly that moisture gets trapped, causing damp inside. Look for someone who understands breathability and checks why any existing render failed, rather than just recoating over the same underlying problem.
Modern Silicone Render vs Old Painted Render
| N Fullers Roofing | Old Painted Render | |
|---|---|---|
| Colour | Through-coloured, no repainting | Needs repainting regularly |
| Water | Sheds rain, stays breathable | Soaks up and stains |
| Algae | Resists green growth | Goes green on damp walls |
| Cracking | Flexible, resists cracks | Cracks and blows over time |
| Maintenance | Self-cleaning, low upkeep | Constant repainting |
A Sound Roof And Sound Walls
Render problems often start with water coming from above - a leaking gutter or a roof fault soaking the wall. We'll check the roofline and guttering as part of the job - see our guttering, fascias and soffits service.

Patch and crack repairs to render start from a few hundred pounds. A full re-render or silicone render varies with the size of the house and access - as a rough guide, a typical semi might run from around £4,000 to £10,000+, with weatherproof coatings over sound render usually less. Every quote is free and based on a proper look at the walls.

Should I repair, re-render or just coat over my walls?
It depends on the state of the existing render. If it's largely sound, a breathable weatherproof coating can protect and refresh it for less. If it's cracked and blown across the wall, cutting it off and re-rendering is the better long-term answer. We'll assess it honestly and recommend the option that genuinely suits your walls and budget.
What is silicone render and why choose it?
Silicone render is a modern, through-coloured render that repels water while staying breathable, resists cracking and algae, and never needs painting. It's a big step up from old sand-and-cement render that had to be painted and went green and cracked. It suits most homes, though period solid walls sometimes need a breathable lime system instead.
Will rendering stop damp on my walls?
A sound, water-shedding render or coating keeps wind-driven rain out of the wall, which is a common cause of penetrating damp - especially on exposed, coastal-facing walls around Sussex. But if damp is coming from another source, that has to be addressed first. We check the cause rather than just coating over the symptom.
Do I need planning permission to render my house?
For most homes, re-rendering is permitted development and doesn't need permission. Listed buildings and some conservation areas - common in central Brighton and Lewes - can require consent, particularly if the appearance or material changes. We'll flag anything relevant and you can confirm with your local council.
How long does render last?
A quality modern silicone render, applied to a properly prepared wall, can last decades with very little maintenance and no repainting. The keys are the condition of the wall underneath and the standard of the preparation and application - which is exactly where we focus.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Our rendering and coating work is backed by a written workmanship guarantee, and the render and coating systems carry their own manufacturer's warranty. We'll explain what's covered before we start.
What Sussex Homeowners Say
Real feedback from customers across Brighton, Burgess Hill and Sussex. Star ratings reflect completed roofing work.
"We had a leak coming through the bedroom ceiling of our Victorian terrace in Hove. N Fullers traced it to a cracked lead flashing round the chimney - not where the stain was - and had it sorted properly within a couple of days. Tidy, honest and a fair price."
"The old felt roof on our extension in Burgess Hill was leaking every time it rained. They fitted a new EPDM rubber roof with proper falls so no more pooling. Great job, cleaned up after themselves and explained everything clearly."
"Full re-roof on our 1930s semi in Worthing - stripped it back, new underlay, battens and tiles, all new flashings. The scaffolding went up and the whole job was done in under a week. Looks superb and the quote was itemised with no surprises."
"Our roof in Haywards Heath was green with moss and the gutters kept blocking. They cleared the lot, treated the roof and cleared the gutters, and spotted a slipped tile while they were up there. Really pleased with the difference."
"Chimney on our Lewes cottage was crumbling and letting damp in. N Fullers repointed it, renewed the flaunching and put proper lead flashings in. They understood it's a period property and did it sympathetically. Highly recommend."
