Rendering FAQs

Answers to common questions about rendering in Ballarat.

How long does render last?

A well-applied render with a good membrane paint can last 20 years or more. Cracks are usually caused by building movement or poor prep, which is why the prep stage matters.

Can you render over existing brick?

Yes. Most brick homes can be rendered once the surface is cleaned and any loose mortar is fixed. We check the wall first and recommend the right system.

Cement or acrylic render?

Cement render is hard-wearing and cost-effective; acrylic render flexes more and resists fine cracking. The right choice depends on the wall and the look you want.

Do you fix cracked render?

Yes. Cracks and drummy sections are cut back, repaired and blended in so the patch is hard to spot.

Can you render over painted brick?

Usually yes, once loose paint is removed and the wall is primed with a bonding coat.
