A Warmer Home and a Stunning Finish

External wall insulation (EWI) fixes insulation boards to the outside of your home, wrapping it in a thermal jacket that dramatically cuts heat loss through solid walls — then finishes the whole property in a premium silicon render. The result is a warmer home, lower heating bills and a complete external transformation in a single project. It is particularly effective on solid-wall and non-traditional construction homes across Essex that cannot take cavity insulation. We install manufacturer-approved board systems, with a mesh-reinforced base coat and a self-coloured silicon finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Silk Render Ltd’s services.
Do I need to remove my pebble dash before rendering?

In most cases, no. We render directly over existing pebble dash using a pinned mesh system, which saves the time and cost of removal without compromising the finish. During the site visit we check the condition of the existing surface and advise honestly on the best approach for your property.

Silicon render is a premium, self-coloured finish that is flexible and breathable. It resists cracking, repels dirt and rain, and keeps its colour without repainting – which is why it is our recommended finish for Essex homes. It is available in a wide range of colours.

We only install manufacturer-approved systems from SPS Enviraul, Balmet and Atlas. Premium products, properly installed, are what make a render last – we never use budget materials.

Pinned mesh is reinforcement mesh that is mechanically fixed to the wall rather than simply bedded into the base coat. It gives the render far better resistance to cracking and movement. It is a step many contractors skip – we do it on every job.

Yes – we arrange scaffolding as part of the service, working with a trusted scaffolding professional so your project is completely turnkey. You do not need to organise anything yourself.
