FAQs How long does external rendering last? Quality external rendering typically lasts 20-30 years when properly applied and maintained. The lifespan depends on factors like weather exposure, building movement, and the type of render system used. Modern polymer-based renders often last longer than traditional systems. Regular maintenance and prompt repair of any cracks or damage will help maximise the life of your render system. Can rendering be applied in winter? External rendering can be applied in winter, but weather conditions need to be suitable. We avoid rendering in frost, heavy rain, or when temperatures are below 5°C. Winter rendering may take longer to cure properly due to lower temperatures and reduced daylight hours. We monitor weather forecasts carefully and plan work during suitable conditions to ensure the best results. Does rendering improve insulation? Yes, rendering can significantly improve your property's insulation when combined with external insulation boards. This creates a continuous insulation layer that reduces heat loss and can help lower energy bills. Even standard rendering provides some thermal improvement by sealing gaps and creating an additional protective layer. We can advise on insulated render systems that maximise thermal performance. What causes render to crack? Render cracks can be caused by building settlement, thermal movement, poor adhesion, or rapid drying. Hair-line cracks are often normal and can be repaired easily, but larger cracks may indicate underlying issues that need addressing. Proper surface preparation, appropriate render selection, and controlled drying conditions help prevent cracking. We assess the cause of any existing cracks before recommending the best repair approach.
