Rendering
Services
Serving London, Kent & the South Eas
What is Rendering?
Rendering is the application of a protective and decorative coating to the external walls of a property. It serves both an aesthetic and practical purpose — improving visual appearance, preventing water ingress, and enhancing thermal performance.
At CBL Stone Renovations, we provide expert lime and cement rendering services tailored for period properties, heritage buildings, and modern homes alike. Whether you need a small repair or a full façade transformation, our skilled team delivers durable, breathable and high-quality finishes that complement your property.
OUR WORK
Our Rendering Process
Assessment & Preparation
We begin with a thorough assessment of the substrate (brick, block, stone, or existing render) and recommend the best render system. Damaged or loose materials are removed, and surfaces are prepped to ensure maximum adhesion.
Material
Selection
Lime Rendering – Ideal for older buildings and listed properties. Breathable, flexible, and sympathetic to traditional construction. Cement Rendering – A more modern solution, offering a strong and weather-resistant finish for newer or previously cement-rendered properties.
Application
Render is applied in multiple coats, allowing appropriate drying time between layers. We ensure an even finish and can apply smooth, textured, or dashed finishes based on your preferences and planning requirements.
Finishing & Aftercare
Once cured, the render can be finished with breathable mineral paint or left natural, depending on the material used. We provide guidance on aftercare and maintenance to ensure long-term durability.
Our Experience in Rendering Period & Heritage Properties
We specialise in rendering for older buildings where breathability and compatibility with traditional materials is essential. Our lime render systems are carefully applied to avoid trapping moisture — a common issue with modern renders on heritage façades.
All render work is completed by skilled craftsmen and in accordance with conservation best practices where applicable.
