THE BENEFITS OF RENDER FINISHES
Why Choose a Decorative Render Finish?
Different render finishes allow you to create anything from a traditional textured surface to distinctive finishes that replicate the appearance of brick or stone.
When used as part of a correctly specified render system, a professionally applied finish provides a hard-wearing exterior surface designed for external exposure.
Depending on the chosen system, render finishes are available in a range of colours, textures and effects, providing plenty of scope to complement the property’s style.
Modern render finishes can provide an attractive exterior surface requiring relatively little ongoing maintenance, although requirements vary according to the system and exposure.

Outside wall render
The review says Neil was polite and professional, arrived when promised, completed the small external-wall rendering job the same day, and that the customer would recommend him.

External render to whole house
Extremely happy with the work Neil has done to our house. It was far from being a straightforward job and he carried it out brilliantly, making sure any issues were discussed with us, and making sure the site was cleaned and clear each night. The job was started and finished on time and to an excellent standard. Would definitely recommend to others.

RENDER FINISHES FAQS
Render Finishes FAQs
Find answers to some of the most common questions about decorative render finishes, including the different effects available, choosing a suitable finish, maintenance and costs.
P3 Plastering offers a range of decorative finishes including scraped render, brick effect render, stone effect render and dry dash effect render. The options available will depend on the property, substrate and render system being used.
Consider the style and age of the property, the appearance you want to achieve and the underlying render system required. We can assess your property and discuss the options that would be suitable for the project.
A scraped finish is created by working the surface of the render at the appropriate stage of setting to produce an even, textured appearance. It is commonly associated with through-coloured render systems such as monocouche.
Yes. Specialist decorative rendering techniques can be used to create finishes designed to recreate the appearance of traditional brickwork or stonework without using brick or stone as the finished external surface.
Dry dash is a traditional textured finish in which suitable aggregate is applied to the render surface to create its characteristic appearance. The exact materials and application method depend on the render system being used.
Colour options depend on the particular finish and render system selected. Many modern systems offer a choice of colours, while brick and stone effects can use different tones and detailing to achieve the required appearance.
Maintenance requirements vary according to the render system, finish, location and exposure of the property. Rendered surfaces should be periodically inspected and may occasionally require cleaning or maintenance to keep them in good condition.
Costs depend on the size and condition of the property, preparation required, access, chosen render system and the type of finish. P3 Plastering provides individual quotations after considering the requirements of the project.
