For all your rendering needs

  FOR SOLID (CEMENT) AND ACRYLIC RENDERING

We are a family run business and provide quality work at a competitive price. We are proud of our work and only use quality products.

C&C Webb Plastering was founded by Cairn Webb approx twenty years ago. As a plasterer for most of his life, Cairn decided to start up a family business, his sons Andrew and Tony continue the tradition.

As a small business, we pride ourselves on quality workmanship, which shows in all our finished work. We remain a small business for a reason, and that is to control and maintain our high standards. We believe in only using quality products which are guaranteed to last and maintain the finishes we require.

To guarantee straightness, we use stainless steel external angles, horizontal and vertical on all parts of the building in question. These include corners of building, window reveals, window sills, tops of retainer walls etc. The added benefit of using metal angles is that it protects the corners of building from damage.(check photo below)

We also fix cement sheets to lintels above doorways and windows to form an even finish. The added benefit of fixing cement sheets to lintels, is that it prevents rust (from the lintel) coming to the surface of the finished render. The cement sheet is an effective barrier to stop rust. It is even more important to use this system on older homes as many lintels at this stage are already showing signs of rust. Apart from this, this method keeps window heads and door ways straight and even. You will be hard pressed to find other plastering firms that do this.(check photo below)

MOULDS
To those people who want to make a statement, we offer an option to supply and fit moulds. These look great around windows and can make a stunning entrance to a rendered house. (check out the moulds section under the gallery page)

FOAM CLADDING
We also supply, install and render polystyrene panels. Foam cladding is now becoming very popular for new extensions. It is far superior to blueboard (when installed correctly) for straightness, durability and resistance to movement.  It has great thermal and sound insulation properties. A 75mm M grade foam panel will give you an R rating of 1.95.  

The added bonus of using foam panels is that it gives the new extension the appearance of a solid rendered finish. All windows and doorways will have reveals, heads and sills. Window sills to match original sills of building can be added to enhance this effect. (check out foam cladding in the gallery section)

We fix foam panels to frames on new homes using specially made screws and washers. We also fix foam panels to weather board homes fixing directly to weatherboards.

Once we have fixed the panels to the building we install stainless steel angles to all externals such as window reveals, heads, sills, bottoms of walls and external corners to add strength and straightness.  We then completely cover exterior area of foam sheets with fibreglass mesh, bedded with two coats of special mix acrylic. Third coat is then applied with acrylic render. The last coat applied with one coat of Dulux Coventry Coarse in selected colour. As usual, we protect All windows, floors and roof tiles with masking and adequate drop sheets.  

This is the correct procedure for installing and rendering foam panels. Many rendering firms do not do this and skip important parts. The end result could be cracks, uneven lines on externals and surface and even leakage. 
 

RENDERING
We offer two options of rendering. The first being Acrylic render, the second solid render (cement render) Most buildings can be done in acrylic render but if the brickwork is bad (walls not straight and level) then solid render must be used.

To maintain straightness we render the walls of a building with two coats of acrylic render (the first coat screeded first) The walls are then floated and left to cure. The final coat of Dulux texture is then applied later in almost any colour you want. 

Note; If solid render is required, thicker coats of sand and cement render are applied to walls and then screeded straight with straight edges plumed and levelled.

MASKING
Masking is an important part of our job. To ensure everything is left clean and spotless we mask windows, doorways, fittings, roof areas and floor areas. We mask along wall areas with 2ft wide masking paper and then as further protection use cloth sheets along working areas. Many plastering firms do not do this, and they do make a mess! Texture is very hard to remove and much damage can be done, particularly over paved/ tiled areas. 

Do not be disappointed, all these requirements are important things to look for when choosing a renderer.

FINALLY
When we have completed the job, you will be thrilled. Every line straight. Your house, windows, pathways etc, will remain spotlessly clean, and your house will look magnificent. If it were not for this fantastic look you would not believe that we had been there!
