Do You Need a Rendering Supplier in Guildford?

Temperatures in North London typically hover around freezing during the winter months and frequently dip below that. Snow is not uncommon and north winds can howl through producing bone-rattling wind chill effects. If a home here is poorly insulated it will generate outrageous energy bills and produce an unhealthy environment in which to live. Licata produces world-class materials and tools for rendering in North London that can make a world of difference.

We have more than 5 decades of experience producing and distributing rendering materials for exterior walls. All our materials are both BBA and ETA certified, which means they meet or exceed the highest building materials standards in both the UK and Europe. We also partner with select contractors to perform high profile rendering projects throughout the capital.

Different Types of External Render Systems

We offer a variety of external rendering services and systems so there is sure to be one that is exactly right for your Surrey home or business.

Monocouche Rendering

The French word “monocouche” translates roughly to mean “one coat”, which tells you all you need to know about this particular rendering system. The single monocouche render layer can be easily applied to brick or blockwork surfaces, is through coloured and water-resistant.

Although it is technically a single layer a monocouche render is typically applied in two passes, which then meld together forming the single layer of the name. The surface of this type of render can be manipulated to produce whatever type of texture you or your customer is interested in. That includes scraped, dry-dashed and roughcast.

Plaster Rendering

London is farther north on the globe than Montreal and Toronto, Canada, as well as all of Japan, Korea and Mongolia. For a significant portion of the year, North London is wrapped in darkness and cold. Woe unto those whose home is poorly insulated.

Licata insulated rendering systems help smooth over damaged or weakened exterior walls of a home, increase its energy efficiency by as much as 25% and extend its life. Once installed an insulated render also provides robust damp proofing and gives a tidy bump to the market value of the home.

Thin Coat Rendering

We provide 3 types of thin coat renders: silicone, acrylic and mineral. Thin coat renders are easy to apply, hydrophobic, crack resistant and attractive. Silicon thin coats are known for their durability and water resistance. Acrylic thin coats are prized for their flexibility and ease of maintenance. While mineral thin coats dry quickly and are typically applied to homes and businesses in traditionally colder areas. If you want to perform a serious upgrade to your home but don’t want to drain your savings account dry to do it, thin coat renders are a great choice.

Rendering in North London for Home and Business

Nearly 40%, or 9.5 million British homes were built before World War II. That’s a staggering number for several reasons, but mostly because of what it says about the energy efficiency of British homes. Prior to the oil shocks of the 1970s few people had paid much attention to things like home insulation, and there remains a large percentage of those pre-World War II homes that are underperforming from an insulation standpoint.

The best, fastest, most cost-effective way to rectify that situation is with rendering of exterior walls to seal them against the elements. Licata provides an array of different rendering systems and plastering services that will allow you to do just that. Keep in mind too that enhancing the energy efficiency of a house increases its market value as well.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is the average cost of rendering a house in North London?

The cost of rendering in North London depends on the size of the exterior walls, the chosen system, and the type of finish you want. On average, prices can range between £35 and £65 per square metre, which covers quality materials and skilled professional application.

At Licata Ltd, we supply only the best materials and support contractors with rendering services designed for homes and commercial properties. From monocouche render to thin coat renders, our team helps make sure every project in London and surrounding areas is completed to the highest standard.

2. How long does external rendering usually last?

When external rendering is applied correctly with certified systems, it can last 20 to 30 years or even longer. The durability of rendered walls comes down to using tested products and ensuring the process is carried out by experienced applicators.

Licata Ltd provides BBA and ETA certified materials that are designed to protect exterior walls against the elements. Whether you opt for thin coat renders, silicone rendering, or monocouche render, you can rely on our systems to maintain both appearance and insulation for decades with proper maintenance.

3. Can rendering help with damp problems in older North London homes?

Yes, rendering in North London can provide a protective barrier for exterior walls that are damp affecting or showing signs of wear. Adding the right scratch coat and finish can help to seal unsightly brickwork, reduce water ingress, and support the existing damp course.

Licata systems include insulated solutions that improve energy efficiency and give older walls a new life. With the right materials and a skilled professional, your home will be better protected against damp while improving both performance and appearance.

4. What maintenance is required after a property has been rendered?

Rendered walls usually need very little upkeep, but regular checks help ensure the surface is maintained. Cleaning exterior walls occasionally with water to remove dirt, and avoiding harsh painting or cement washes, is often enough to keep the finish looking smooth.

At Licata Ltd, we recommend routine inspection of external wall insulation or thin coat renders to ensure they remain in good condition. With proper maintenance, your property will continue to benefit from both insulation and protection against the elements efficiently for many years.

5. How long does it take to render a typical semi-detached house?

The time needed for rendering in North London depends on the condition of the exterior walls and the system chosen. For a semi-detached house, the process may take around 7 to 10 days, allowing coats and layers to form correctly and cure before completion.

Using thin coat renders or monocouche render can help speed up the process while still producing a durable finish. Licata’s materials are designed to perform efficiently, ensuring that both homeowners and businesses can complete projects without unnecessary delays.

6. Is planning permission needed for rendering in North London?

In most cases, planning permission is not required for external rendering unless the house is listed or in a conservation area. Applying render to exterior walls is generally considered permitted development, provided the materials used are in keeping with the rest of the building.

For projects in North London and surrounding areas, Licata Ltd can advise on the most suitable system for your property. With options like thin coat renders, monocouche render, or silicone rendering, our rendering services are designed to meet both regulatory standards and customer expectations.
