Commercial render is a different discipline from domestic — phased works, occupied premises, longer runs, expansion design and proper contract paperwork. We do it properly across Wigan.
Why Commercial in Wigan?
Commercial-grade system specifications — through-coloured silicone or EWI engineered for the asset life expected.
Local context: Wigan, Greater Manchester
Former mining stock and large postwar semi-detached estates; significant pebbledash and rough-cast render in need of refresh. West-Lancashire rainfall and damp clay soils put a premium on properly prepared substrates. We cover the full Greater Manchester area from WN1 outwards, including Standish, Aspull, Orrell, Pemberton, Shevington and the wider postcodes (WN1, WN2, WN3, WN5, WN6). Most Wigan jobs are surveyed within 48 hours — we know the streets, parking constraints around landmarks like Wigan Pier, and the typical substrates we'll find on the wall.
Benefits
- System warranties from leading manufacturers.
- Experience across retail, education, multi-occupancy and light industrial.
- Single point of contact for the duration of the project.
- Comfortable working as principal or sub-contractor.
- Programme discipline.
- Proper joint design for long elevations.
Local considerations
- Insurance and CDM requirements need addressing up-front, not on day one of site.
- Working around live tenants in Wigan needs a tenant-comms plan — we help draft it.
- Commercial-scale render demands a designed joint layout — long unbroken elevations will crack without it.
- Phasing around trading hours in Wigan town centres is critical — we plan it in.
- Specifications must match the asset life expected — through-coloured silicone for long life; cheaper systems only on short-life buildings.

- Survey + tender response (or principal-contractor pricing).
- Scaffold per phasing plan.
- Substrate works to specification.
- Base coat + mesh with proper joint layout.

Frequently asked questions
What areas do you cover commercially?
Wigan and the surrounding areas including Standish, Aspull, Orrell, Pemberton. For larger schemes we'll mobilise further afield.
Can you tender against specification?
Yes — happy to price against architect or NBS specifications, and to suggest value-engineering options where they don't compromise life.
What system warranties are available?
Manufacturer-backed system warranties on K-Rend, EWI and silicone systems — typically 10–25 years depending on spec and project.
Do you handle handover documentation?
Yes — RAMS, COSHH, O&M, warranty paperwork and as-built photos as standard on commercial projects.
Do you work on occupied commercial buildings in Wigan?
Yes — we phase works to minimise disruption to tenants and trading. Comms plans agreed before scaffold goes up.
Do you work as principal contractor or sub?
Both. We're comfortable as principal on render-only packages and as a specialist sub on larger schemes.
Tender response on commercial render and EWI specs — typically returned in 5–10 working days.
If you're tendering a render or EWI package in Wigan, send us the spec — we'll come back with a properly considered response.
