How House Rendering Works

Identify Rendering Problems

Before work on your Barnstaple property begins, you can expect our expert team to inspect the outside of your property and identify the particular issues that need our attention.

Cleaning Render

Once the scope of the task has been identified, our team will carefully mask any areas or features that the work could impact.

Then we will use a combination of scraping, power washing, and wire brushing to prepare the surface, treating it with anti fungicide if mould or algae are present.

Restoration

After the surface in question has been correctly cleaned down, repairs and restoration can move forward. All the damaged render and cracks will be repaired to ensure a seamless and invisible repair.

Reconstruction

Unpainted brickwork or heavily scarred, pebble dash brickwork can eliminate its imperfections by rubbing with a P.V.A. mortar mix at this stage. This means that even if the wall you wish to apply to render to is uneven, an excellent smooth finish can be achieved.

Sealing the Walls

The next step is to brush or spray on a high-performance primer. This doubles as an adhesive and as protection from the weather. This primer lays the groundwork for a permanent bond and acts as a base for the final layer of render.

Why You Should Choose House Rendering Barnstaple?

Types of House Rendering

Concerning colours, you will have the option of choosing a white render that you can paint once it's applied, or what is known as a through-coloured mix. A through-coloured mix is a finish where the colour is visible throughout the application, which means you won't have to paint it regularly and cut down on maintenance.

When it comes to the renders on offer, choosing one that best meets your needs is essential. Indeed particular finishes tend to work best in the following specific situations:

Cement Render - suitable for when you want a long-lasting finish at a low cost. A higher level of maintenance is required.
Polymer Render - flexible render that minimises cracking and so lessens maintenance.
Lime Render - best for period homes as it is breathable and can help lengthen the lifespan of the wall.
Acrylic Render - used with the renders above to improve their look, Fibres can be added to boost flexibility.
Monocouche Render - a single coat render that is fast and convenient. Through-coloured and self-cleaning means minimum maintenance.
Silicone Render - premixed and self-cleaning, these new kids on the block protect your home and ensure it looks great in all weathers.

Standard Render Process

In the standard rendering process, the financial layer is applied to the base coat, triggering a chemical reaction that bonds both coats. There is a wide range of colours and textures to choose from, with thicker finishes working best to conceal any repairs made.

Trowel and roll coating render process.

However, not all types of render can be applied in the way described above. Indeed, some will require a process known as trowel and roll coating. This differs from the procedure above because after a clean down and thorough masking of any feature that needs protection, 2 or 3 coats of reinforced fibre render are trowel-applied to the wall. The top textured, coloured coating is also trowel or roller applied.

The care we take when completing the rendering process.

No matter which process you choose, you can be safe in the knowledge that the utmost care will be taken to leave your Barnstaple property clean and tidy. Not before we know you are 100% happy with the job, that is? Indeed, before leaving, our team will unmask all areas such as windows and doors and get you to sign off on the work.
