Render Painting Services
Rendered properties can have different substrates and proprietary systems, each requiring identification before coating options are proposed.
Stucco and Lime Render
An incompatible coating may restrict moisture movement and contribute to cracking, bubbling, or coating failure on lime render.
A vapour-permeable masonry paint is one option considered for lime render after review. An incompatible coating may contribute to premature failure on stucco.
Other Rendered Surfaces
Render type, existing coating, condition and any repair needs are checked before preparation is agreed.
The written quote states which of these items are included in the checked scope.
K-Rend and Polymer Render Systems
For K-Rend and other proprietary render systems, the exact system, condition, existing finish and relevant product instructions are checked before painting is proposed.
Any preparation, primer and finish for a proprietary render system are specified only after the surface and the selected system’s product instructions are checked.


Repairs and Surface Treatment


Hairline Cracks and Surface Repairs
Render, masonry and timber are inspected separately because their preparation needs can differ.
Where cracks are wider, deeper, or accompanied by a hollow sound when tapped, the render behind may have lost adhesion. Your decorator identifies these areas at the survey stage and advises on an approach after review.
Biological Growth Treatment
Visible damp or biological growth should be investigated before repainting; only suitable, dry surfaces should be coated.
Painting over active biological growth may contribute to premature coating failure; its cause, substrate and treatment options should be checked first. The decorator checks the growth and substrate before proposing cleaning, treatment, and coating preparation.
Here’s How It Works
1. Survey and Quote
Your decorator checks the render type, surface condition, any repairs needed, biological growth, and access requirements. A written quote is provided before work starts.
2. Cleaning Method
The decorator checks the render and biological growth before specifying a cleaning or treatment method under current product guidance.
3. Repairs
Cracks, hollow areas and loose render are recorded. The quote distinguishes local decorating repairs from sections needing separate render assessment.
4. Masking
Protection for windows, doors, sills, soffits and surrounding surfaces is agreed for the proposed application method.
5. Primer Coat
Any primer for bare or repaired areas follows the identified render and selected system’s current guidance.
6. Finish Coats
The specified coating is applied by the agreed method and checked before masking is removed.
7. Final Check
The decorator checks the completed surfaces in suitable light and discusses any item that remains within the agreed scope before handover.

What Shapes the Quote
Render painting is quoted for the individual scope after a site visit.
The quote separates the preparation from the painting or decorating work, so the included surfaces are clear.
What Affects the Cost
Surface condition: heavy biological growth, significant cracking, or multiple repairs add preparation time. Property height and layout determine the proposed access equipment. Render type, existing coating and condition determine the compatible product options itemised in the quote.
