External Rendering

Professional External Rendering for Your Property

External rendering is a popular way to refresh the appearance of a property's exterior walls. At Greens Plastering, we provide external rendering services to help create a neat, consistent finish suited to your property and project requirements.
Over time, exterior walls can become weathered, discoloured or uneven. Rendering can improve the overall appearance of suitable external surfaces and provide a fresh finish for your home. The appropriate rendering system depends on the existing wall, its condition and the result you want to achieve.
We consider the condition of the exterior before recommending a suitable approach. From surface preparation to render application and finishing, careful planning helps achieve a consistent appearance that complements the property.

Our External Rendering services are suitable for:

  • Refreshing the appearance of suitable exterior walls
  • Property renovations and improvements
  • Improving the visual consistency of uneven wall surfaces
  • Updating the exterior appearance of houses and other properties
  • Creating a base for an appropriate decorative finish

Suitability and Limitations

The success of external rendering depends on the condition and type of the existing wall. Before work begins, the surface should be assessed to identify any preparation or repairs that may be necessary.
Cracks, loose material, damp issues, unstable backgrounds or unsuitable existing coatings may need attention before rendering can proceed. The correct render system must be selected for the wall construction and exposure conditions.
We can discuss the available options and recommend a suitable approach based on your property's condition and the finish you want to achieve.
