Rendering Services
Durable exterior finishes that protect your home and improve how it looks.
I Apply High-Quality Render, Including Coloured Silicone Finishes, Across Colchester and Suffolk
Rendering is one of the best ways to protect your home from the weather while giving it a clean, modern look. I work with cement render, lime render and coloured silicone render, depending on the style and performance you want.
Coloured silicone render is a popular choice for homeowners who want a long-lasting, low-maintenance finish that doesn’t need painting. It’s flexible, breathable and resistant to cracking, which makes it ideal for modern homes and full exterior renovations.
Whether you’re repairing old render or transforming the whole exterior, I’ll explain the best options and complete the work with a tidy, reliable approach.
Common Reasons to Render a Property
Homeowners choose to render their homes for a mix of practical and visual reasons, including:
- Cracked or blown render that needs replacing
- Damp patches or moisture problems
- Older homes needing protection from the weather
- Modernising a dated or uneven exterior
- Covering old brickwork or patch repairs
- Improving insulation when combined with the right materials
- Adding value and kerb appeal
- Preparing a property for sale or renovation
- Wanting a fresh, coloured silicone finish that doesn't require future painting

What I Do During a Rendering Job
Every job is different, but here’s what you can expect during most plastering projects:
- Assess the condition of the walls or ceilings
- Remove loose plaster or repair damaged areas
- Prepare and prime the surface for good adhesion
- Apply base coats where needed
- Use your chosen finish: cement, lime or coloured silicone render
- Skim the surface to create a smooth, even finish
- Check for imperfections and make final touches
- Clean up thoroughly at the end of each day
- Leave the room ready for painting once dry
Each project is done with care, clear communication and a focus on the result you want.
