Tips For Getting Your Render Repairs Done Correctly – The First Time Around

The only thing worse than an unattractive rendering job – is rendering work that keeps failing you. If rendering is done correctly, the new wall coverings or repairs should hold up well for many years to come. You can expect about 7-15 years of good results after getting your rendering restored professionally. Perhaps even more if a BBA-certified render material is used.

DIY projects, on the other hand, usually don’t yield these types of results. Without the professional application process and high-end products, it is perfectly natural to see cracks spread out as soon as the render dries. Or you might see your DIY rendering peel off and flake away in chunks after just a couple of months.

Here are some tips for getting your rendering done the right way, right from the start. 

It all Starts With the Right  Company

Successful render repairs start with the right company.  It is best to only trust an experienced wall expert with these types of projects. The chosen contractor should have a lot of experience in maintaining, fixing, or upgrading render walls. Choosing an experienced company pays off because it provides lots of benefits, like the following:

• Guaranteed Work

Good rendering companies already know that their work will hold up well. That is why they are not shy about guaranteeing their work. Ask the rendering company if they are willing to repair the render, should it fail. If the answer is yes, you will know that you are on the right track. Any good and legit rendering service provider should be confident that their work will hold up well.

• Product Knowledge

The right rendering company already knows that only the best materials will stand the test of time. The quality of rendering used will determine how well it holds up and the risk of cracks forming when it dries. A good rendering company knows how to use the correct product brands and types. They also understand how to use the right mix for every render project.

• Proper Application Technique

Product application techniques make all the difference in the durability of the project and the end result. Rendering experts already understand the needed application techniques. They understand that proper prep work (removal of damaged render, preparing and priming the surface) is very important. They also understand when to use reinforcement to stabilise the wall or strengthen the render. Your killed team will use the right mix, and will apply the product in layers so sagging and cracking will be avoided. 

• Good Finish Results

Getting that perfectly smooth wall finish or a perfect texture takes a lot of expertise. Professional rendering teams are very skilled and will ensure that your walls turn out perfectly every time.

Don’t Rush The Project Too Much

Render needs to properly dry or cure between layers or before finishing the surface with paint. It is important not to rush your rendering team too much. Allow the appropriate drying time because it will have a huge impact on the end results.

Colour Match Carefully

For most property owners, it is best to leave the colour matching to the professionals because it can be very hard to achieve that perfect shade. If the render isn’t matched perfectly, the repair work will be very noticeable. If you are not too concerned about colour matching, then you should plan on getting the entire wall painted.
