Rendering Stages

Floor protection and scaffolding.

With any wet trade it is important to keep work areas tidy and protect floors, roofs, doors, windows and all other areas of your home. To keep driveways and paths clean, we start by laying out a protective floor covering. Once this is down, the scaffolding can be erected.

Inspection and prep work

Once the scaffolding is up, we will then do an in depth inspection of the property. This is to make sure everything is as it should be and that we can ensure we don’t encounter any unforeseen problems, We then start by taking down all downpipes/lights/hanging baskets and begin protecting your roof along with any windows, doors and any other areas that might be affected.

Beading Up

This is a rendering term used for fixing plastic trims called beads to all external angles, wall edges and low levels including a drip bead which diverts water. This also gives us a straight, crisp edge to work to. Some walls may need a coat of primer. We call this render grip and has a distinctive red colour, this is a polymer based primer that will allow new render to bond to the existing surface.

Basecoat

This is the first coat of render and will be hand applied or sprayed using our pump. Once this is on the wall, we start using tools called ‘Edges’ to rule this off flat. Once we are sure that the render is flat, we then embed a fibreglass reinforced mesh – this is what prevents the render from shrinking and cracking and gives the render strength during hot and cold weather. After this we then apply another thin coat of render over the mesh to close it up and close the surface of the render using a float.

Priming

Once the render has had time to dry, we then apply a coloured primer. This is an important stage as this will create a bond between the layers of render and silicone render.

Application of Silicone Render

This process can be hand applied or sprayed. Both provide very similar in textures. This is the final stage of the rendering process when we apply your bespoke colour and is weather dependent, especially during the winter months.

Clean Down, Mastic and Handover

The final stage is what we call a clean down. This is where all protective tape, plastic and window protection is removed. We then wipe down all plastic soffits/windows and sills. All downpipes are reattached along with any other items were removed at the start of the project. All waste is then bagged up, floor protection is swept and removed. We then have a skilled mastic specialist seal all doors/windows and sills to ensure no water can penetrate the new render. Once this is completed and the customer is happy we then arrange for the scaffolding to be taken down. On a final visit the floor will be swept one more time, and with the customers permission a few photos will be taken for our company portfolio.

Good communication with Marc throughout, from viewing our house to completion. Took care to retain the character of the house when planning the work, and much time was put into the preparation to achieve the best finish possible. We are very pleased with the result! Marc has also recommended good trades people for the specialist jobs required.

Marc is a true professional in his field and a total perfectionist!! Would not hesitate to recommend to others.

Professional from start to finish. Highly recommended 👌 Great attention to detail.

Best building work experience ever! Marc & his team were very professional & have excellent attention to detail. We are blown away by the quality of his work. He clearly takes total pride in his work; not the sort that's only switched on when you're watching but you can see it's for his own satisfaction. He communicates very clearly at each stage of progress, is friendly, punctual and leaves the site clean afterwards. He did everything he possibly can to make the project a success. The price was competitive as well. We couldn't recommend him more highly. Thank you for going above and beyond

Essex Plastering Solutions - Marc and his team - re-rendered my mock Tudor house. Marc was highly professional and delivered a quality service - I am delighted with the results. But just as importantly, Marc communicated in a timely fashion in the run up to and throughout the job, making the process for the customer very easy. And he returned after the scaffolding was taken down to clear up the detritus, leaving my drive looking ship shape again - a nice touch! I wouldn’t hesitate to use Marc again, or to recommend him to others.

We asked Marc to rerender our whole house, as it was getting pretty bad in places and desperately in need of work. I was so pleased with Marc and his team. From day 1, Marc was patient and happy to advise on options, colours etc and never pushy. The job itself was excellent - the guys were on time, hard working and very tidy. Marc has a great attention to detail, which is really reassuring on a big job like this. Marc communicated regularly about when he would be here, when he wouldn't etc. Our neighbours remarked on how polite, tidy and considerate the team were and I heartily agree.
