Is My Property Appropriate for Rendering?
Rendering is best suited for walls that are brick, stone or other variations of this material. The old render will also require eventual replacement, which we cover below. All exterior brick or stone walls can be upgraded with rendering, and rendering is often combined with insulation to improve the overall efficiency of the property. External walls are improved with render to create a style that suits you and the property, and older properties will typically require rendering to be improved.
Late Victorian and early 20th-century properties will typically be constructed from brick and other materials that are appropriate for rendering. These are the most common types of property that will be appropriate for external wall rendering and insulation for the property itself, but a wide range of exterior walls that are not connected to the property will feature brick, and these are appropriate for rendering. We can advise you on the suitability of your property.
When is it Time to Upgrade Old Render?
Many projects involve upgrading and improving the existing render on residential or commercial properties. This is where our knowledge comes into play – we can enhance your existing render or provide a full replacement when needed. There are several signs that your render might need attention or replacement.
Wall cracking is one of the main reasons property owners look for render repair or replacement. Cracks make walls look worn and tired, while damage to this protective layer can leave your building exposed. When wall insulation shows through render damage, replacement or enhancement becomes essential.
Bulging and soft patches indicate another clear sign that render needs repair or replacement. These issues suggest the adhesion has failed, which allows water to get in and damage the wall. This leads to various potential problems, especially with structural walls, requiring render removal and new system installation. Damp areas on walls frequently appear with this particular problem.
Testing your render by tapping with a hammer or chisel helps determine if the render still has proper adhesion to the wall. This is useful since damage between rendering and wall surfaces isn’t always obvious. Hollow sounds when tapping usually indicate the render needs re-adhesion, which typically means enhancing your existing system.
In serious cases, rendering damage can affect the wall’s structural strength. We help all clients by preparing the current render for enhancement, or we can remove the render when we arrive, before applying new rendering. We offer render consultation and can review photographs to provide expert advice. Whether your rendering needs repair or enhancement, we work on both commercial and residential properties.

Rendering is well known to increase the overall value of your property, especially when combined with insulation rendering. As your external walls if inefficient can account for up to 35% of heat loss in a property, which increases your property value as your property is more efficient and looks better when it is time to sell. Commercial properties use more electricity in the winter for heating, so you can expect more savings for your business, typically compared to homes.
Upgrading and replacing old render is one of the most popular uses of rendering. The walls are already appropriate for rendering, so you will need to repair or re-render the wall if issues occur. Damage to render, whether it’s to the adhesive inside of the render or the actual outside of the render, can cause water damage and dampness. This will need to be repaired or replaced. We can advise you on this, so get in touch with our team to arrange for your free quote.
