Professional Quality London Bricklayer

House Rendering London

In having the plastered finish of render applied to brickwork, you can protect it against wind and rain and reduce how much heat escapes through the wall, making the property more efficient. However, rendering a heritage home requires particular care.

Whether the brickwork you want to render was originally assembled in the Georgian, Victorian or Edwardian era, we can help you choose the most suitable rendering solution. We can then apply it sensitively to leave a smooth, appealing finish.

If you have any concerns about applying a render finish to your property, rest assured that at LNK BRICKWORK we only ever use rendering methods that are entirely safe, and are designed to work well with the material your home is made from.

Lime Rendering

Though concrete is the render type traditionally used on external walls, it might not be sufficiently breathable for your particular property. To prevent moisture from becoming trapped within the wall, you can opt for lime rendering suited to period homes.

Lime rendering, even more so than regular rendering generally, must be applied in a careful, professional manner to achieve optimum results. We will always apply the absolute best lime rendering process for your home.

K Render

Extensive Range of Lime Renders by LNK Brickwork

LNK Brickwork offers a wide selection of lime renders, including *K Lime*, a monocouche render designed specifically for period properties. Manufactured by *K Rend*, one of the UK’s most respected producers of silicone coloured renders, K Lime is part of a comprehensive lineup if you’re interested in exploring *K Rend* solutions.

Monocouche renders are known for their thickness and durability, as explained below, but *K Rend* also offers the *TC 15* thin-coat silicone render. This organic resin render provides a low-maintenance, textured finish with the added benefit of flexibility, making it highly resistant to building movements and reducing the risk of cracking.

Monocouche Render

The term *monocouche*—meaning "single layer" in French—describes a modern approach to home rendering. We can apply this white-cement render either by spraying or hand trowelling, and it can be pre-coloured in the shade of your choice. 

Applying monocouche render in a single coat not only saves time but also reduces long-term labour and maintenance costs since it doesn’t require repainting. We also offer “self-cleaning” monocouche options for enhanced weather resistance, providing homeowners with exceptional value over time. For any questions about our rendering services, reach out, and we’ll guide you through your options.

External Wall Insulation

While modern homes often have cavity wall insulation, older properties, especially those from the Edwardian period or earlier, typically do not. In these cases, we can add external insulation before applying a render for a seamless, finished look.

External wall insulation is an ideal solution for preserving internal space in period properties, as it eliminates the need for interior insulation. Our skilled team installs this insulation externally, enhancing energy efficiency without altering your home’s appearance, and potentially reducing utility costs over time.

Our Rendering Process

1. Scaffolding Setup

   We start by setting up scaffolding to ensure safe, efficient access with minimal disruption.

2. Removing the Old Facade

   If the wall has existing rendering, we carefully remove it to start with a fresh, improved finish.

3. Applying the Base Coat 

   The first of up to three coats is applied to strengthen the render and reduce the risk of cracks.

4. Completing the Render

   The final coat is crafted to withstand harsh weather and provide lasting durability. 

With our proven process, LNK Brickwork ensures a premium, long-lasting render that both protects and beautifies your property. Call now for a free of charge professional consultation and an accurate no obligation fix price quote.
