Rendering, Render Repairs and Exterior Painting across Greater London

Render and masonry paint are the first line of defence for your walls. When render cracks or comes away from the brick, water gets behind it, frost pushes more of it off, and damp can reach the inside of the building. Ashlar Roofing applies new render, repairs cracked and blown sections and repaints rendered and brick walls on homes and commercial buildings across Greater London. Traditional sand and cement render suits patch repairs and many existing walls, while modern silicone and monocouche renders are coloured through and need very little upkeep.

Good results depend on preparation. Walls are cleaned of dirt, algae and flaking paint, cracks are cut out and filled, and dusty or chalky surfaces are treated with a stabilising solution so the new coating bonds. On older solid-walled houses, we use breathable paints and compatible renders so moisture can escape rather than being trapped in the brickwork. Scaffold is arranged to give safe, steady access to every elevation, and because we also handle roofs, gutters and fascias, defects found at the top of the wall can be repaired before the scaffold comes down.

Why Choose Ashlar Roofing for Rendering & Exterior Painting

Several Render Systems

We work with sand and cement, silicone and monocouche render, so you can choose the finish that suits your house and budget.

Breathable Where It Matters

On older walls we use breathable coatings that let moisture escape, helping to avoid damp being trapped behind the paint.

Roofline While Scaffolded

Roofs, gutters and fascias are part of our services, so work at the top of the wall can use the same scaffold.

The work

How We Carry Out Rendering & Exterior Painting

The main stages of the job, from the first inspection to the final check.

  1. Assess the Walls

    We tap-test the render for hollow areas, check for cracks and damp, and note any repairs needed before coating.

  2. Set Up Access

    Scaffold is erected to reach every elevation safely, with windows, doors and paths protected.

  3. Prepare and Apply

    Surfaces are cleaned, filled and stabilised, then the render or paint is applied in the coats the system requires.

  4. Finish and Review

    Beads and edges are tidied and the scaffold is struck. We then review the completed work with you and confirm everything has been done as agreed.

FAQs

Common Questions About Rendering & Exterior Painting

What is the difference between silicone and monocouche render?

Both are modern, through-coloured renders. Silicone render is a thin coat applied over a base coat, and the silicone helps it repel water and stay cleaner. Monocouche is applied as a single thicker coat and then scraped back for a textured finish.

Can cracked render be repaired, or does it all need replacing?

Small cracks and isolated blown patches can usually be cut out and repaired. If large areas sound hollow when tapped or the render is coming away in many places, full re-rendering is often the more lasting option.

Why use breathable paint on an older house?

Solid brick walls in older houses need to release moisture. Non-breathable coatings can trap it, leading to damp inside and blistering paint outside. Breathable masonry paints let water vapour out while still shedding rain.

How long does masonry paint last?

Good quality masonry paint on well-prepared walls typically lasts 10 to 15 years, depending on exposure and colour.

Can brick walls be rendered?

Most sound brickwork can be rendered once it is cleaned and prepared. On older solid walls, the render must be compatible with the masonry so moisture is not trapped.
