Do You Need a Rendering Supplier Near You?

If you are a homeowner in the UK you know how hard the climate can be hard on your house. 200 days of rain per year, bitterly cold winds off the ocean, fog so thick you can cut it with a knife and more all conspire to undermine the integrity of your external walls which, in turn, results in higher energy bills and higher property maintenance costs. There is, however, a simple and cost-effective way to deal with the non-stop environmental assault: external rendering systems from Licata.

Leading Edge Rendering Materials

Local rendering companies know they can rely on Licata to provide BBA certified products that can be applied quickly and will stand the test of time. Every insulated render, sand and cement render and monocouche render product we sell has undergone constant testing, refining and real-world evaluation. The result is a suite of rendering systems that set the highest standard for others to aspire to. Those systems include:

Monocouche Rendering

A monocouche render is a single coat high quality render that is suitable for most brick and blockwork surfaces. Once the surface has been prepared the monocouche render is applied in 2 passes that meld with one another forming a single, durable, water-resistant layer. You would expect nothing else from a monocouche render, since the name is French for “one coat”. Monocouche renders can be worked to produce a variety of finishes depending on your tastes.

Plaster Rendering

Plaster may seem old school but there is a reason it has survived since the time of ancient Greece: it works. Licata plaster rendering is extremely versatile and will work with virtually any type of substrate. So no matter what type of home you have – or the type of building housing your business – a plaster render can help. Plaster renders from Licata dry quickly, offer outstanding water resistance and are available in more than 700 colours.

Thin Coat Rendering

If, after searching for “rendering companies near me” you find one that looks like a good bet, ask them about thin coat renders. This is a quick, effective and, best of all, affordable way to install a formidable layer of protection between your home or business and the elements. Thin coat house rendering takes 3 forms: silicone, acrylic and mineral.

Silicone renders are the most popular type of thin coat renders. Silicone is valued for its impressive water resistance and its ability to retain its bright, attractive look year after year. Acrylic renders, while also highly water-resistant, are known for their flexibility. If temperature-related expansion and contraction is wreaking havoc with your external walls an acrylic render is a good idea. If you live in an area known for its cold weather you might consider a mineral render.

Benefits of Insulated Rendering & Plaster Rendering

Insulated Renders

Many home and business owners have one thing on their minds when they seek out rendering suppliers: insulation. That’s entirely understandable. After all, the majority of UK homes were built during the 19th and early-to-mid 20th century when insulation was an afterthought. Today, many of those structures, ravaged by time, have compromised external walls that are causing expensive problems.

Insulated renders are designed for situations where the integrity of a building’s exterior has been undermined. Insulated renders are affordable and effective but you will need an approved contractor to perform the work, and BBA certified materials. We can help you with both.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What type of external rendering is best for UK homes?

The best type of external rendering for UK homes often depends on your property’s age, location, and surface condition.

For modern builds or those needing a clean and flexible finish, silicone renders and thin coat acrylic options are ideal thanks to their water resistance and long-lasting colour stability. For period properties or homes with breathable walls, lime render can be a better fit, while cement render suits those after a tough and cost effective finish.

At Licata, we supply all types of rendering materials so homeowners searching for rendering can find exactly what they need for their exterior walls.

2. How much does house rendering typically cost?

The cost of house rendering can vary based on the type of render you choose, the size of your external wall areas, and the condition of your current wall surface. Monocouche and silicone finishes may cost more upfront but offer better weather resistance and lower maintenance.

If you’re comparing quotes for rendering, make sure it includes the full rendering services, from prep work to the final finish. Our rendering company offers expert advice on all materials, so you only invest in what gives the best long-term value for your property.

3. Can I choose coloured finishes with cement render?

Yes, cement render can be finished with a wide range of coloured top coats, including mineral or silicone-based coatings, depending on the effect you want. While traditional cement is typically grey, modern rendering materials let you add colour for a fresh, updated look.

At Licata, we supply rendering walls in over 700 colours, whether you’re after something neutral or bold. It means every home, from newer builds to period properties, can get a finish that complements its style and enhances aesthetic appeal.

4. Do I need planning permission for exterior rendering?

In most cases, exterior rendering does not need planning permission, especially if you’re using materials that match your existing building. However, if you live in a conservation area or are working on listed buildings, it’s best to check with your local authority first.

Licata works with homeowners and contractors to ensure all rendering work meets local rules. If you’re searching for rendering near me and want expert guidance, our team is always happy to help get approvals, materials, and application methods.

5. How long does external rendering last on an external wall?

A high-quality external rendering system can last 20 to 30 years or more, especially when applied with care and maintained properly. Products like monocouche renders and silicone renders offer long-term durability and strong resistance against weather and moisture.

Licata’s systems are designed for both homes and commercial buildings, using tested rendering materials and professional-grade coating solutions. Whether you choose cement render, thin coat, or plaster-based products, we supply everything you need for a long-lasting, weather-ready external wall finish.
