This is my second experience of work completed by Prestige Damp Proofing Solutions. Having had an excellent experience the first time round, when I noticed what looked like woodworm in a completely different part of the house, who else to call but the damp busters at Prestige Damp Proofing Solutions. As usual Natasha modelled excellence in customer service and Patrick made a thorough and professional survey with recommendations and an itemised quote. This was helpful as the problem proved to be not only woodworm but wet rot. The work conducted by Patrick, Louis, Aziz and colleague was to a very high standard with attention to detail through out. Everything was explained and communicated at relevant stages. I will be having some decoration by the Team once the plaster has dried, but wanted to write this now.Posted on Google![]()

We had a hugely positive experience with Prestige, having just found them online by looking at other reviews. Patrick was really thorough in his inspection and could easily have agreed with another (large national) company that had suggested a massive amount of work that needed to be done. Instead, he saw that really what was needed was a much quicker and cheaper solution. (I should add here that even if the bigger solution had been needed, Prestige's price was much cheaper than other quotes). The boys that came to do the job were really friendly, polite and worked hard to get everything done as quickly as possible and with as little disruption as possible. They answered all my questions quickly and even popped straight back in person when I had a query on something. I would highly recommend this company - Natasha in the office responds to everything really quickly and professionally, Patrick provides a thorough inspection and report and the boys that do the work are hardworking, friendly and professional. We were dreading this work being done and it ended up being something that felt very straightforward.Posted on Google![]()

I had a really positive experience with Prestige Damp Proofing Solutions. From start to finish, the service was professional, honest, and reassuring. Patrick was especially great throughout the process. He was extremely knowledgeable, approachable, and always happy to answer any questions I had. The work was completed efficiently and to a high standard, and you can tell they genuinely care about doing a good job rather than just rushing through it. Communication was clear, timings were kept, and everything was left clean and tidy afterwards. I’d definitely recommend Prestige Damp Proofing Solutions to anyone looking for reliable and trustworthy service. Thanks again to Patrick and the team!Posted on Google![]()

Patrick came to my home to survey the damp & mould concerns we had. From enquiry, his response time was very quick and was able to come see us within the week. He was friendly, professional and knowledgeable. More than anything else, Patrick showed integrity by offering us advice on some practical changes we can make in the home to help with the moisture, as opposed to try and upsell us a solution we may not need. After a few weeks of following Patrick's advice, we have seen improvements, proving to us he knows what he is doing! Would have no problem recommending Patrick and Prestige to anyone. 👍
Professional External Rendering Service For Homeowners in Watford and Hertfordshire
External rendering involves applying a protective finish to the outside walls of a property. A professionally installed render system can improve the appearance of a building while helping protect masonry against driving rain and weather exposure.
It can be particularly valuable where damaged pointing, cracked finishes or deteriorating external surfaces are contributing to penetrating damp.
At Prestige Damp Proofing Solutions, external rendering work may involve removing defective existing plaster or render before installing a new two-coat system incorporating a waterproof backing coat and a restoration finish.
Before recommending work, we assess the property to identify likely sources of water ingress and determine whether external rendering is the appropriate solution.

Frequently Asked External Rendering Questions
How much does outside rendering cost?
The cost of external rendering depends on several factors, including the size and height of the property, the condition of the existing walls, how much preparation is required, access and scaffolding requirements, and the rendering system being specified.
Properties requiring removal of defective existing render or additional damp-related remedial work will also have different requirements from walls that are already in good condition.
Prestige Damp Proofing Solutions assesses the property before providing a written quotation based on the work actually required.
Is there an alternative to rendering?
Depending on the problem, alternatives may include repointing defective brickwork, repairing localised cracks, replacing failed sealants or addressing gutters, roofing, drainage or ground levels that are causing water ingress.
Where appearance rather than water penetration is the primary concern, other exterior finishes may also be considered.
A professional damp survey can help determine whether rendering is actually required or whether repairing a specific building defect would be more appropriate.
Does render devalue a house?
Professional rendering does not inherently devalue a property.
A well-specified and properly installed finish can improve the appearance of tired exterior walls and help protect the underlying masonry from weather exposure.
Problems are more likely when an unsuitable render is applied to a property, underlying defects are covered rather than repaired, or the finished work is poorly installed.
The construction of the building should therefore be considered before choosing a rendering system, particularly on older properties where breathability may be important.
What is the best type of external render?
There is no single best type of render for every property.
Silicone or acrylic systems may suit homeowners looking for a flexible, modern and low-maintenance finish. Monocouche can provide a clean through-coloured appearance, while lime render may be better suited to traditional buildings that require a breathable external finish.
The correct choice depends on the property’s construction, age, exposure, existing wall condition and the reason the property is being rendered.
Can external rendering help with penetrating damp?
Yes, where penetrating damp is being caused by cracked, deteriorated or water-permeable exterior finishes, remedial rendering can form part of the solution.
However, penetrating damp can also result from defective gutters, downpipes, roofs, pointing, window seals or high external ground levels.
Those sources should be identified and corrected rather than relying on render to conceal an unresolved defect.
Do you remove the old render before applying new render?
Where existing render is loose, damaged or otherwise unsuitable, it may need to be removed before a new system is installed.
Prestige Damp Proofing Solutions’ documented remedial process includes removing plaster or render to the required height before applying the specified waterproof backing and restoration system.
The extent of removal depends on what is found during the property assessment.
Can I render an older property?
Older properties can be rendered, but material compatibility is particularly important.
Traditional solid-wall buildings often manage moisture differently from modern cavity-wall properties. Applying an unsuitable impermeable finish can interfere with natural moisture movement.
Breathable materials such as traditional lime render may therefore be considered for some heritage and older buildings.
Listed properties may also require appropriate approvals before works are carried out.
