1. Site Assessment
Every job starts with a full surface inspection and prep plan. We address cracks, delamination, and structural issues to ensure longevity.
2. Skilled Application
Our team applies rendering with close attention to thickness, straightness and finish quality. We offer sponge, float and textured options.
3. Fast-Drying Formulas
We use proprietary mixes that dry faster and more evenly, reducing disruption and weather-related delays.
4. Optional Finishes
Looking for something more decorative? Combine your cement render with texture coating or transition into a Venetian plaster interior.

Cement rendering involves applying a mixture of sand, cement and water to create a flat or textured finish over brick, concrete or blockwork. It's ideal for:
- External walls and fences
- Property facades and extensions
- Feature walls in modern homes
- Commercial and industrial buildings
FAQs
Is cement rendering waterproof?
Cement render is water-resistant but not fully waterproof. For complete moisture sealing, we can add breathable membranes or protective coatings.
Can you render over painted brick?
Yes, but only after proper preparation. We remove or stabilise the paint to ensure full adhesion.
How long does cement rendering last?
When properly applied, cement render can last 20 years or more. We only use proven materials and techniques to ensure longevity.
Do you offer coloured render?
Yes. While traditional render is often painted post-application, we also offer pre-tinted and colour-through options.
