The work

Rendering in Melbourne.

Render is a coat of plaster on the outside of a wall. It goes over brick, block or board. Then it is painted or left in its own colour.

Melbourne is the capital of Victoria. Tell us your suburb, the wall type and roughly how many walls.

Older houses can need a different render. Say if the house is old or heritage listed.

The job

How a rendering job usually runs.

Every job is different. This is the usual order.

  1. Clean the walls and fix loose or cracked areas.

  2. Set beads on corners and edges.

  3. Put on the render in coats, then float it smooth.

  4. Paint or seal once it is dry.

Price
