Fusion Recon Renovations / External Rendering Services in London
External Rendering Contractors in London
Fusion Recon Renovations delivers high-quality external rendering for London homes, extensions and apartment buildings, creating clean, weather-resistant façades that boost kerb appeal and protect the structure for years. From period terraces to modern infill developments, we carry out careful surveys and specification-led render systems instead of 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 combine façade improvements with structured residential renovations and complete full-house and landlord refurbishment packages so that the exterior and interior of your London property feel consistent, well-coordinated and carefully detailed. If you are searching for an external rendering specialist near me or a reliable rendering contractor near me, our team can look after the whole project, not just the final coat.
Types of External Rendering We Offer
Choosing the right external render system depends on the age of the building, the substrate, exposure to weather and the look 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 & 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, copings and parapets to help shed water away from the building. On some projects we combine external render with internal plastering & skimming so walls are straightened inside and out ready for decorating.
Monocouche & Through-Coloured Render
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 where clients want a sharp, low-maintenance look without hairline cracks or patchy colour. We follow manufacturer guidance on thickness, curing times and movement joints to minimise the risk of shrinkage and future repairs.
Silicone Thin-Coat Systems
Silicone thin-coat systems are highly water-resistant and flexible, making them ideal for exposed elevations and mixed substrates. Their flexibility helps accommodate minor movement without cracking, and their surface sheds dirt more easily, keeping façades looking cleaner for longer in busy London streets.
Insulated Render & External Wall Insulation (EWI)
When thin-coat renders are combined with external wall insulation boards, they can significantly improve thermal performance and reduce condensation risk. For landlords and portfolio owners, insulated render can help reduce heating costs and keep void periods low, especially when used 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 extensions and mixed-use buildings. That can mean switching to more breathable systems, adjusting mesh reinforcement or rethinking drip and movement details so 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.
Modern Extensions & New-Build Homes
Modern extensions and new-build homes often combine render with brick, cladding and aluminium. We pay close 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. When portfolios also need common-part upgrades or internal works, we can pair façade improvements with our commercial builders and refurbishment services so 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 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 carry out patch repairs, reform edges, refix beads and address small defects before the main rendering phases begin. Where projects involve lots of minor items, we can look after them through our handyman services so everything is made good and ready for the new system.
Breathable Paints & Finishes After Rendering
Some render systems are finished with breathable masonry paint rather than a through-colour top coat. We choose coatings that are compatible with the base render so moisture can escape while still protecting the surface from rain and pollution. Detailing around downpipes, meter boxes and services is planned so the façade remains easy to maintain instead of becoming a patchwork of later 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 you want 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 instead of tracking inside. Where required, we work alongside our in-house carpentry & bespoke joinery team and specialist suppliers to update sills, trims and external joinery before the render is applied. On projects that include patios, paths or entrance upgrades, we coordinate with our wall & 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 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.
Quality, Guarantees & Working with Fusion Recon Renovations
External rendering is just one part of what we do. 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.
