Cork Spray Rendering Project in Bournemouth

Coastal Home Transformation

When you live in a coastal area, your home faces constant challenges from the elements like salty air, moisture, and shifting temperatures. For homeowners in Bournemouth, these conditions had taken a toll on their property’s exterior. Cracks and blown render were not only unsightly but also a growing concern for long-term maintenance and energy efficiency.

In March 2025, a two-week renovation using cork spray render in a stunning "Sky" colour revitalised their home, creating a beautiful, flexible, and low-maintenance finish with added thermal benefits. Here's how it all came together.

1. Spray Render Cork Rendering in Bournemouth - Project Overview.

  • Location: Bournemouth

  • Colour: Sky

  • Duration: 2 weeks

  • Client goals: eliminate cracking and blown render, install a flexible, low-maintenance solution, improve thermal efficiency

  • Completion Date: March 2025

2. The Challenge

For this property in Bournemouth, the main issues included:

Cracking Render

Exposure to salty sea air and temperature changes had caused widespread cracking. These cracks were more than cosmetic; they allowed water to seep in, risking further damage to the walls underneath.

Blown Render

Blown render had started to pull away from the walls, creating hollow patches that compromised the building’s protection and appearance. In several areas, the render had completely detached.

Lack of Thermal Efficiency

The existing render provided little to no thermal benefit, making it harder to maintain comfortable temperatures indoors without relying heavily on heating and cooling systems.


3. The Solution.

After careful consultation, cork spray render emerged as the perfect solution for this Bournemouth home.

Here are the reasons why cork spray render:

  • Flexibility

    Cork’s natural elasticity allows it to move with the building, preventing future cracking.

  • Thermal Insulation

    It offers excellent thermal properties, which reduce energy bills and improve indoor comfort.

  • Water Resistance

    Cork is naturally water-resistant yet breathable, helping to prevent moisture buildup.

  • Durability

    Designed to withstand harsh coastal conditions, cork spray render has an impressive lifespan.

  • Low Maintenance

    Unlike traditional renders, cork spray requires minimal upkeep and maintains its appearance for years.

Choosing the "Sky" colour also brought a fresh, modern vibe to the property, blending beautifully with Bournemouth's bright, seaside atmosphere.


4. The Renovation Process.

Like every project we undertake, transforming this Bournemouth home's exterior with cork spray render was a carefully planned job, from preparation through to final inspection.

The work began with an in-depth inspection of the property. Every wall was carefully assessed to locate problem areas, paying close attention to sections where the render had blown or cracked.


Once the issues were identified, the next step involved fixing the blown render to provide a clean and stable surface to work on. Cracks were filled, and any uneven areas were repaired. After the repair work was completed, we removed all remaining debris and prepared the walls for the next stage.


Then, the cork spray render was carefully applied using specialist spraying equipment, allowing for a flexible and consistent coat across the entire property. The team worked carefully to ensure a uniform texture, expertly blending corners and details to achieve a seamless look. The beautiful "Sky" colour brought a fresh, airy feel to the home, complementing Bournemouth’s coastal vibe perfectly.


Once the application was complete, our spray rendering team conducted a series of quality checks to ensure the highest standards were maintained.

By the end of the second week, the home’s exterior had been completely revitalised, achieving a finish that not only looked stunning but promised durability, flexibility, and thermal efficiency for years to come.
