Exterior rendering — Plasterer
Provide photographs of each elevation and identify whether the work is new rendering, replacement or local repair. Explain the existing finish, cracking and weather exposure, and ask how details around windows, ground level and adjoining materials will be included.
Service scope
Application or renewal of a specified external render system on compatible wall backgrounds. The package includes agreed preparation, surface details and finish, while insulation systems, structural repairs and painting remain separate items unless the specification incorporates them.
What is normally included
- Assessment and preparation of external backgrounds
- Application of a specified render system
- Agreed junction, corner and termination details
What is not included
- Assumed inclusion of external insulation
- Covering unresolved movement or moisture defects
Typical tasks
- Review wall construction and existing render
- Identify preparation and removal requirements
- Coordinate junctions and termination details
- Apply the specified render and finish
- Inspect the completed elevations and interfaces
What to include in your brief
- Elevation areas and height
- Wall construction if known
- Photos of cracks and existing finishes
- Required texture and colour treatment
- Access and adjoining-property constraints
Choosing the right professional
Compare complete systems and preparation rather than finish colour alone. Ask how existing defects, material junctions, weather protection and access will be managed; rendering should not be sold as a substitute for diagnosing active movement.
Important considerations
- Unsuitable weather can affect the applied system
- Material junctions and existing movement need appropriate detailing
