Isle of Wight & the South Coast · Rendering Since 1989
From traditional lime finishes to modern acrylic systems — new builds and refurbishments across the Isle of Wight and the south coast, done the "Wright" way.
About Will Wright
Will Wright has been rendering since 1989 — first building a substantial business in London, then bringing that experience to the Isle of Wight. Over 35 years he has worked across both markets, on everything from large London refurbishments and period townhouses to Island coastal properties and rural new builds.
Whether it's a traditional lime finish on a period property, a K Rend system on a new build, or a full refurbishment, Will brings the same approach he has always brought: the right system, applied correctly, built to last.
As both a London-experienced and Isle of Wight specialist, Will understands how render behaves differently across climates and property types — from Victorian terraces in the capital to coastal homes on the Island. That breadth of experience is rare, and it shows in the quality of his assessments and his work.
What We Do
Every rendering system, applied with skill. From traditional heritage finishes to the latest polymer systems.
Traditional lime-based render for period and listed properties. Breathable, flexible, and historically appropriate. Sympathetic restoration and new lime work.
The workhorse of exterior rendering. Applied and finished to your specification — smooth, scraped, or textured — with long-lasting results.
Factory-produced through-coloured renders with a superior finish and excellent weather resistance. Ideal for modern homes wanting a clean, lasting result.
Flexible, durable polymer renders that resist cracking and are available in a wide range of colours. Great for new builds and refurbishments alike.
Natural thermal cork render with insulating properties — stainable and available in a wide range of colours.
Water-repellent, self-cleaning silicone finishes that stay cleaner for longer. A strong choice for exposed coastal properties.
Experienced across the full range — from brand new builds requiring modern systems to sensitive period property work requiring heritage expertise and care.

What Clients Say
★★★★★ 5.0 — 4 Google Reviews
"Willy did an amazing job rendering our new extension. From start to finish we were informed about every stage of the work involved. We had a choice of so many colours and this meant we could match the new finish to existing stone. We were given a sample to see what the finished product would look like and shown how many layers were involved. Willy is very professional and a pleasure to have on site. Thank you."
"The external walls of my end of terrace property were in a sorry state, getting all the weather and needed help. Will came to the rescue and I now have beautiful cork rendered walls that I am very happy with. It was a big area to cover but Will worked quickly, cleanly and kept me informed every step of the way. I would recommend Wright Render every time."
"Will carried out the renovation and rendering of the outside of our home, from a 1930's pebble dash house to what we are so proud of today. His work was first class and we would recommend him without hesitation."
"Absolutely first class job and my new build home in Ryde - Willy Wright got on with the work quickly and efficiently leaving the site clear clean and tidy afterwards - price was very competitive too. Thanks again Will 👍"
Common Questions
The questions homeowners ask Will most often, answered honestly and in plain English.
A full re-render typically costs £3,000 to £8,000 for a standard semi-detached house and £10,000 to £20,000 or more for a large detached property. The final price depends on the size of the house, the render system, the condition of the existing walls and access. Will gives honest, no-obligation quotes so you know exactly what is included.
Wright Render covers the whole Isle of Wight, from Yarmouth to Bembridge and Cowes to Ventnor, plus the Hampshire coast around Havant and Portsmouth. For homes anywhere else in the UK, Will offers photo and video consultations from £49.
Yes. All render work is installed to the manufacturer's specification, which carries both product and installation guarantees from the system manufacturer and from Wright Render. A guarantee is only valid if every step, from preparation to the final coat, is done to spec, so none are skipped.
Yes, render rescue is one of Wright Render's specialities. Will works out why the original render failed, strips back the failed system, repairs the wall and installs a correctly specified, fully guaranteed replacement. You can see a real example in the Wellow project in the gallery.
Every system commonly used in the UK, including K Rend, Baumit, PRB, Fassa Bortolo, silicone, acrylic, cork, lime, and sand and cement. Wright Render is independent, so Will recommends the right system for your property and conditions rather than pushing one product.
For most homes, yes. Silicone renders such as K Rend are through-coloured, flexible and water-repellent, so they need no repainting and resist cracking and algae. They cost more than sand and cement upfront but usually work out cheaper over the life of the render, especially in the Island's salty, wet conditions.
Sometimes, but only if the existing render is completely sound and well bonded to the wall. Rendering over hollow, cracked or damp-damaged render hides the failure rather than fixing it, so Will checks the wall before recommending an overcoat or a full strip-back.
