Frequently Asked Questions

What type of render is best?

Silicone renders are low-maintenance and water-repellent. Lime render suits older solid-wall homes that need to breathe.

How much does external rendering cost in Dublin?

Typically €6,000–€15,000, depending on the size of the property, access and specification.

How do I choose a contractor for external rendering?

Get at least two itemised written quotes, ask to see recent similar work, and check registrations, insurance and guarantees.

How long before I can paint new plaster?

A skim usually needs about a week to dry, longer in cold weather, and should look evenly pale. Use a diluted mist coat first.

Can new plaster go over old plaster?

If the old plaster is sound, it can be skimmed. Blown or loose plaster must be removed first.

What is blown plaster?

Plaster that has come away from the wall behind it. It sounds hollow when tapped and often cracks or bulges.
