Frequently Asked Questions – External Rendering
What is external rendering?
External rendering involves applying a protective and decorative finish to the outside of a building, typically using materials like silicone, monocouche, or acrylic render. It enhances appearance, weatherproofing, and thermal efficiency.
What is the difference between external rendering and external wall insulation (EWI)?
External rendering is primarily cosmetic and protective, while EWI includes an insulation layer beneath the render, significantly improving energy efficiency.
What buildings can benefit from external rendering?
Almost any building — particularly those with older brick, block, or stonework — can benefit. Solid-wall and pebble-dashed homes are especially good candidates.
Will rendering change the look of my home?
Yes — and for the better. Render can modernize tired façades, cover unattractive brickwork or cracks, and provide a smooth, clean finish in a variety of colours and textures.
What colours and finishes are available?
We offer silicone, monocouche, acrylic, and mineral render in dozens of shades. Finishes include smooth, scraped, textured, or dash (roughcast).
Can render be applied over existing brick or paint?
Yes, but preparation is key. Loose paint and weak surfaces must be removed. We assess the surface condition before applying a basecoat and mesh for proper adhesion.
How long does the rendering process take?
Typically 1–3 weeks depending on property size, surface condition, weather, and render type.
Can rendering be done in winter or during bad weather?
Ideally not. Rendering requires dry conditions and mild temperatures. However, with protective sheeting and accelerants, winter work is sometimes possible.
Is my property suitable for rendering?
Most are, but we always inspect your building for structural issues, damp, or previous failed render. We’ll advise honestly during a free quote.
Does rendering add insulation?
Not standard render alone, but pairing it with EWI (external wall insulation) greatly improves thermal performance.
How much does external rendering cost?
Costs vary depending on render type, access, wall condition, and property size. We offer competitive quotes and transparent pricing.
Is rendering a good investment?
Yes — it improves curb appeal, prevents damp and weather damage, and can increase property value.
Can rendering reduce my energy bills?
If paired with insulation, yes. Even without EWI, sealing cracks and improving wall integrity can slightly reduce drafts and heat loss.
How long does render last?
High-quality render systems like silicone can last 20–30 years with minimal maintenance. We only use trusted brands and methods.
Will my render crack or discolour over time?
With correct application, proper expansion joints, and breathable materials, cracking is rare. Modern renders resist discolouration and algae.
Is external render self-cleaning?
Silicone renders are water-repellent and often self-cleaning, meaning rainwater washes dirt away, keeping your home looking fresh longer.
Can render be painted?
Yes, though modern renders come pre-coloured and don’t require painting. If needed, breathable masonry paint is recommended.
Do I need planning permission for external rendering?
Usually not, unless your property is listed, in a conservation area, or the new finish dramatically alters appearance. We’ll advise based on your postcode.
Will rendering affect my building’s breathability?
Only if inappropriate materials are used. We use breathable systems that allow moisture to escape and prevent internal damp.
Is external rendering covered by building regulations?
In most domestic cases, no. But if combined with insulation or affecting fire safety (e.g., in flats), regulations may apply. We handle all checks for you.
How do I get started?
Just contact us for a free, no-obligation site visit. We’ll assess your walls, discuss finishes, show samples, and provide a detailed quote.
How soon can work begin?
Once agreed, we typically begin within 2–4 weeks, depending on our schedule and weather conditions.
Will I need to vacate my home during work?
No. External work means minimal disruption inside. We’ll ensure safety and access throughout the project.
Do you cover my area?
Yes! We serve London, Kent, and the surrounding areas — including Bromley, Orpington, Eltham, Sidcup, Dartford, Sevenoaks, Beckenham, and more.
Can I see examples of your work?
Absolutely. Visit our portfolio or request to view nearby projects we’ve completed in your area.
