Likened to plastering, rendering is the application of render to the external walls of premises, leaving a smooth finish ready for painting. Houses, garages and extensions get a clear, precise finish with render while benefitting from a protective coating and strengthened surface at the same time.

Repairing existing render can be particularly challenging. Blending in patch repairs with the surrounding surfaces, often at elevation and on older properties, having the skills to surface match render type and work the new render seamlessly into the rest of the surface requires qualification, experience and dedication to the work.

Whether you require repairing existing render or applying complete walls to new build premises, Signature has the expertise and experience to help.

We provide various types of render, including;

With your repair or new extension so carefully designed, there is nothing worse to see than odd brickwork or a stark difference between old and new.

The roof can make or break your building. So whether you are replacing or repairing a faulty roof or moving on to the next stage of your new build, your roof needs to be fitted with care, consideration and skill.

Keeping the rain out and heat in, your roof is one of the biggest energy savers in your property, commercial or domestic.

Stonework on buildings offers an attractive alternative to brick and is often found on older properties and listed buildings. Available in natural and tailored stone textures and finishes, stonework requires upkeep and mastery of the skill to set it. The correct pointing materials down to the sand and cement, application and artistry are critical to achieve the desired aesthetic and be durable at the same time.

We provide specialist stonework services for our commercial and residential clients across various stone types and services required.

Specialist stone masonry repair
From minor improvements to complete restoration work, Signature’s specialist stone masonry repair services deliver high standards of workmanship within budgets and time scales to keep your project on track. Our services include;

The most beautiful brick and stonework can be hugely let down by shoddy or unsuitable pointing. As it degrades from damage by the elements, pointing suffering from deterioration can let in water, causing damp and other potentially severe issues to a property. So not only does it look unattractive, it can be a safety issue too.

We offer specialist pointing services at Signature to rectify erosion and keep out rain, wind and frost for the long term.

We work readily with lime pointing, a substance and service we use on buildings pre-dating 1919, which is far better at handling the transmission of water and vapour between the inside and outside of a masonry wall, as is the design of that era of build. Lime pointing is applied to properties built with lime originally and is suffering from degradation or have been repaired previously with cement or sand pointing which is unsuitable.

Colour Matching
A sometimes tricky task colour matching mortar for pointing, is necessary to achieve a flawless finish in exterior repair and replacement. From identifying the correct sand to matching colours with dyes, tints and stains, we expertly apply, repair and replace mortar with a seamless finish. Combined with our brick matching services, Signature professionals upgrade structures of all kinds, including extensions, garages and commercial properties.

The preparation of the ground for all types of construction, groundworks are fundamental to a solid build. We offer small grounds work services for domestic projects such as extensions and garages, to ensure our clients start their projects on solid foundations. We take time to research and test the ground to work on, looking specifically at soil quality, drainage and integrity before moving on to foundations. The knowledge we gain from these tests helps to provide the proper drainage infrastructure and cement foundations needed to support your building. Signature only uses the highest-quality materials to perform all our jobs, and starting with quality ground and foundations is an integral part of a safe and superior build.
