Rendering services
Eight groups of work, all of it cement based. Most jobs are a straight house render, but the rest of this list is the reason people ring us for the awkward ones as well.
The work we take on
-
House and townhouse rendering
Full cement render over brick, block and besser, from the scratch coat through to the finish coat. This is the bulk of what we do and the reason most people call.
- Cement render
- Houses and town houses
- Facades
-
Bathroom and kitchen tile preparation rendering
Specialists in tile preparation to create a flat, solid, and moisture-resistant surface that ensures your tiles adhere properly and look professional.
-
Blue board and lightweight systems
Rendering over blue board and lightweight cladding on new builds, extensions and second storey additions, using the base coat and mesh the system was designed around.
- Blue board
-
Concrete repair and concrete cancer
Cutting out failed and spalling concrete, treating the steel underneath and making the surface good again. Left alone it keeps spreading, which is why it is worth looking at early.
- Concrete repair
- Concrete cancer
-
Waterproof render for wet areas and pools
Waterproof render systems for bathrooms and swimming pool shells, where the coating has to hold up to standing water rather than just weather.
- Swimming pools
- Bathrooms
- Waterproof render
-
Retaining walls, piers and outdoor structures
Retaining walls, letterboxes, fence piers, BBQs, driveways and paths. The small structures around a house are what tie a rendered facade together, and they are rarely worth a separate trip.

Patch up repairs and re-rendering
Matching and repairing existing render where it has blown, cracked or been cut into by another trade. Getting an old finish to disappear into a patch is its own skill. Concrete formwork and balcony repair specialists.
- Patch up repairs
-
Commercial, industrial and large projects
Unit blocks, apartment buildings, shopfronts and industrial work. We have run jobs at this scale for years, and the same person quotes them as quotes a single house.
- Commercial
- Industrial
- Large building projects
The face you end up looking at
The finish decides how the wall reads and how much it costs. Bring a photo of something you like and we will tell you what it is and what it takes. Whether it’s traditional sand and cement or modern acrylic materials, let us bring your job to life.
- Sandcote
- Open, sandy texture. The everyday Illawarra house finish.
- Finecote
- A finer grain than Sandcote for a tighter, flatter face.
- Quicksand Coarse
- Heavier grain, more shadow, hides an uneven substrate well.
- Santini
- A worked decorative finish with visible movement in it.
- Granosite
- Hard wearing coating system, common on commercial facades.
- Coloured render
- Colour carried through the render rather than painted on top.
- Bagging
- Thin rubbed coat that keeps the brick shape showing through.
- Sand finish
- The classic rolled sand face, matched to the existing house.
- Smooth
- Flat and unbroken. Unforgiving, so the prep has to be right.
- Textured
- Trowel or roller texture, worked to the depth and colour you choose.
- Custom
- Bring a photo of a finish you like and we will match it.
