House Rendering

When it comes to rendering outside walls, choosing the right house rendering system is essential for aesthetic appeal, structural protection, and energy efficiency.

A high-quality external wall rendering system does more than just improve kerb appeal—it acts as a weather-resistant shield, protects brickwork, and reduces heat loss. Whether you’re looking for a coloured render finish, need to repair cracked render, or want to invest in external insulation and render, our specialists have the expertise to deliver.

We offer professional exterior rendering solutions, including:

• Silicone render – A modern, flexible, and weather-resistant finish.
• Scratch render – A textured, durable coating with long-lasting protection.
• Brick effect render – A traditional look combined with modern insulation.
• Pebble dash render – A hard-wearing option for maximum weather resistance.

What Is External Wall Rendering & Why Does It Matter?

Exterior wall rendering is the process of applying a protective and decorative layer to the outside walls of a house. It serves multiple key functions:

✔ Protects brickwork from rain, wind, and extreme weather conditions.
✔ Reduces heat loss by improving thermal insulation.
✔ Enhances kerb appeal, increasing property value.
✔ Lowers maintenance costs, as high-quality render eliminates frequent repainting.

Types of External Render – Which Is Right for Your Home?

Choosing the right exterior wall rendering material is essential for durability, protection, and aesthetics. Here’s a breakdown of the most popular options:

Silicone Render – Best for Modern Homes

• Flexible, crack-resistant, and highly breathable.
• Water-repellent and self-cleaning, reducing maintenance.
• Ideal for coloured render houses, as the colour is mixed into the material.

Scratch Render – Textured & Long-Lasting

• Through-coloured, reducing the need for repainting.
• Textured finish with excellent weather resistance.
• Ideal for properties that want a low-maintenance, durable solution.

Brick Effect Render – Traditional Charm with Modern Benefits

• Mimics genuine brickwork without requiring new bricks.
• Provides insulation and protection.
• Great for homeowners who want a traditional look with added durability.

Pebble Dash Render – Hard-Wearing & Cost-Effective

• Textured finish offering maximum protection from harsh weather.
• Perfect for homeowners looking for durability over aesthetics.
• Used on properties where minimal maintenance is a priority.

Does External Rendering Improve Energy Efficiency?

While standard external wall rendering is primarily used for weather protection and aesthetic improvements, energy efficiency gains are only achieved when using an insulated render system.

• Insulated render systems combine external wall insulation (EWI) with a protective render finish, creating a thermal barrier that helps prevent heat loss.

• Traditional solid brick walls—especially in older homes—are prone to significant heat loss. Adding external insulation and render can dramatically improve a property’s thermal performance.

Key Benefits of Insulated Render:

✔ Lower heating and cooling costs – Retains heat in winter and keeps interiors cooler in summer.
✔ Enhanced indoor comfort – Reduces draughts and eliminates cold spots.
✔ Reduced carbon footprint – A more sustainable, energy-efficient home.

How to Maintain External Render for Long-Lasting Protection

Proper maintenance extends the life of your house rendering system. Here are simple maintenance tips:

• Wash walls yearly to prevent dirt buildup.
• Inspect for cracks and repair minor damage early.
• Use breathable sealants to improve water resistance.
• Avoid painting over silicone render, as it can trap moisture.

House Rendering Costs – How Much Does It Cost to Render a House?

One of the most common questions we get: How much does house rendering cost?

The cost of rendering outside walls varies depending on:

• Property size (larger homes require more material & labour).
• Type of render (silicone render costs more than basic cement render).
• Insulated render systems (external insulation adds to the cost but reduces energy bills).
• Repairs needed (repairing cracked render or repainting can increase costs).
