External Rendering Contractors in London

Fusion Recon Renovations is a Bromley-based construction company providing high-quality external rendering across London, including areas such as Chelsea, Kensington, Clapham, Richmond, Wimbledon and Blackheath. We work on period houses, modern extensions and apartment buildings, delivering clean, weather-resistant finishes that upgrade kerb appeal and protect the structure for years. If you are searching for an external rendering specialist near me in London, our team carries out careful surveys and written specifications instead of relying on one-size-fits-all quotes.

External rendering is rarely a stand-alone decision; it is often part of wider upgrades to windows, roofs and interiors. We regularly deliver façade upgrades alongside broader residential renovations and complete full house refurbishment projects so that the exterior and interior of your London property feel consistent, well-coordinated and carefully detailed.

Types of External Rendering We Offer

Choosing the right render system depends on the age of the building, the substrate, exposure to weather and the appearance you want to achieve. We work with specification-led systems from proven manufacturers so that primers, base coats, mesh reinforcement and top coats are designed to work together, reducing the risk of cracking, staining or premature failure.

Traditional Sand and Cement Render

Traditional sand and cement render is still a strong option for many London homes when it is mixed and applied correctly. We pay attention to the existing substrate, reinforcement around openings and drip details at cills and copings to help shed water away from the building. On some projects we combine external render with internal plastering and skimming so that walls are straightened inside and out ready for decorating.

Monocouche & Coloured Render Systems

Monocouche renders provide a through-colour finish that does not need painting and can be scraped back to create a crisp, modern texture. They are popular on contemporary extensions and new-build homes in London where clients want a sharp, low-maintenance look without hairline cracks or patchy colour. We follow manufacturer guidelines on thickness, curing times and movement joints to minimise the risk of shrinkage and future repairs.

Silicone Thin-Coat & Insulated Render (EWI)

Silicone thin-coat systems are highly water-resistant and flexible, making them ideal for exposed elevations and mixed substrates. When combined with external wall insulation boards, they can significantly improve thermal performance and reduce condensation risk. For landlords and portfolio owners, insulated render can also help reduce heating costs and keep void periods low as part of targeted landlord refurbishment packages in London.

External Rendering for Different Property Types

Every property type behaves differently, so we adapt our external rendering approach for period houses, 1930s semis, modern infill developments and mixed-use buildings. That can mean switching to more breathable systems, adjusting mesh reinforcement, or rethinking drip and movement details so that the building can move and breathe without damaging the finish.

Period & Character Properties

London’s Victorian and Edwardian homes have delicate architectural features that can be easily lost under heavy, over-trowelled render. We take time to preserve or rebuild cornices, string courses and window surrounds, and we specify more breathable systems where appropriate so that moisture does not become trapped in solid brick walls. Where needed, we combine external render with careful painting and decorating so that the finished façade looks sharp rather than over-filled.

Modern Extensions & New Builds

Modern extensions and new-build homes often combine render with other materials such as brick slips, cladding and aluminium. We pay attention to junctions, expansion joints and weathering details so that render, trims and flashings work together. This helps avoid staining, hairline cracking and cold bridges around openings, particularly on highly insulated, airtight homes.

Blocks of Flats & Landlord Portfolios

For managing agents, freeholders and investors, we can plan external rendering programmes for blocks of flats and portfolios across London. That includes phased work, scaffold coordination and clear communication with residents to minimise disruption. When portfolios also require common part upgrades or internal works, we can pair façade improvements with our commercial builders service so that the whole building feels upgraded, not just the outside.

Preparing Walls for New Render

Good external rendering starts with careful preparation. We remove loose and hollow areas, cut back to sound material and repair damaged substrates before any new coats are applied. Damp issues, leaks from gutters and overflows, and structural movement are identified early so that the new render is not simply covering over underlying problems.

Substrate Repairs, Making Good & Small Works

Many external walls need more than just a new finish. We can carry out patch repairs, re-form edges, re-fix beads and address small defects before the main rendering phases begin. Where projects involve a lot of minor works, we can take care of them through our handyman services so that everything is made good and ready for the new render system.

Breathable Paints & Finishes After Rendering

In some cases, a render system is finished with breathable masonry paint rather than a through-colour top coat. We choose coatings that are compatible with the base render so that moisture can escape while still protecting the surface from rain and pollution. Detailing around downpipes, meter boxes and services is planned so that the finish remains easy to maintain rather than becoming a patchwork of fixes.

Coordinating Rendering with Other Works

External rendering often sits alongside other upgrades such as new windows, roofs, patios and interior refurbishments. We plan sequences so that trades are coordinated and newly rendered walls are not damaged by later works. This is especially important when clients are aiming for a seamless look between exterior details and internal finishes.

Joinery, Sills & Threshold Details

Render needs to meet window frames, doors, copings and thresholds cleanly so that water sheds away from the building rather than tracking inside. Where required, we work alongside our in-house carpentry and bespoke joinery team and specialist suppliers to update sills, trims and external joinery before the render is applied. On projects that also include patios or entrance upgrades, we coordinate with our wall and floor tiling service to keep levels and falls consistent.

Linking Exterior Works with Interior Upgrades

Many clients choose to combine external rendering with interior improvements so that the whole property feels refreshed at once. Because Fusion Recon Renovations also delivers structured refurbishment projects, we can integrate render works into wider programmes rather than treating them as an isolated job. That means less overall disruption, fewer scaffold visits and a more coherent result for homeowners and investors across London.

External rendering is just one part of what we do at Fusion Recon Renovations. Our wider services cover everything from structural work and full refurbishments to decorating and finishing, so you can keep design, coordination and accountability under one roof. We plan projects carefully, protect neighbouring properties and keep sites as tidy as possible, particularly in busy London streets and tight access locations.
