Cornwall's exposure is unmatched anywhere else in England: over 300 miles of coastline mean salt-laden Atlantic air reaches even inland properties, and annual rainfall exceeding 1,200mm keeps walls rarely fully dry between storms.
The mining town terraces of Redruth, Camborne, and St Austell are Victorian stone-and-render properties in varying states of maintenance. Truro has Edwardian and Victorian terraced stock. Newquay has extensive interwar and post-war rendered properties exposed to the Atlantic on both north and south aspects, while traditional granite cottages across Penzance, St Ives, and the mining valleys present their own surface challenges.
Masonry paint on Cornwall properties fails faster than anywhere else in England. On north-facing elevations in Atlantic-exposed towns like Bude, Padstow, and Newquay, a freshly painted render coat typically shows green algae growth within a single season. On south and west-facing granite cottages in west Cornwall, salt deposits cause paint to delaminate within 12 to 18 months of application regardless of paint quality. Cob properties in the more sheltered eastern parts of the county require continuous render protection — any break in the coat risks the cob core. A fully waterproof, breathable coating applied once provides the long-term protection that no paint system can.
Discover why 10,000s of homeowners each year are switching from traditional masonry paint.

Yes — rendered granite is the most common surface we treat in Cornwall. The traditional Cornish granite cottage, whether in Penzance, St Ives, Camborne, or throughout the mining valleys, presents specific surface preparation requirements that our surveyors assess at the free survey stage. Our coating system provides a waterproof, breathable finish that protects the granite substrate from the salt and moisture that makes masonry paint so short-lived in this county.
In the vast majority of cases, yes. Our coatings create a fully waterproof but breathable barrier that prevents water ingress while allowing moisture already in the wall to escape. This is covered by the 20-year guarantee.
