Exterior Rendering Services in Romford & Havering
Give your property a fresh, weatherproof finish with professional rendering from AJ Plast. We carry out exterior wall rendering across Romford, Havering, and the surrounding areas — whether it's a full house render, patch repairs to an existing wall, or rendering a new extension to match the rest of the property.
Our Rendering Services Include
- Sand and cement rendering — the traditional, durable exterior finish, well suited to most UK property types and a cost-effective option for larger areas.
- Modern render systems (K-Rend and similar) — low-maintenance, weatherproof, pre-coloured finishes that never need painting and offer better flexibility against hairline cracking.
- Render repairs — fixing cracked, blown, or damaged sections of existing render before they let moisture in and cause more serious damage to the brickwork underneath.
- Rendering to match existing property — blending new extension work seamlessly with older brickwork or render, matching both texture and colour so the join isn't obvious.
Why Render Your Home?
Rendering isn't just about kerb appeal, though a fresh render does transform how a property looks from the street. A good render system protects the brickwork underneath from weather damage — driving rain, frost damage, and general wear that gradually erodes exposed brick over the years — and can improve a property's overall insulation. Cracked or blown render, left unaddressed, lets moisture into the wall behind it and gets worse with every winter as water freezes and expands within the cracks. Small repairs caught early are far cheaper than the full re-render that often becomes necessary once damage has spread.

FAQs
How much does rendering cost in Romford?
Cost varies by property size, render system chosen, and how much preparation the existing walls need. For a detailed breakdown, see our Rendering Cost guide — we'll give you an accurate, itemised quote after an on-site visit.
How long does render take to cure?
Most render systems need 24–48 hours per coat to set, with full curing taking a few weeks. We'll talk you through the realistic timeline for your specific job and weather conditions.
Can you render over existing render?
It depends on the condition. If the existing render is sound and well-bonded, we can often render straight over it. If it's cracked, blown, or hollow-sounding when tapped, it usually needs removing first.
What's the difference between traditional and modern render?
Sand and cement render is the traditional option — durable and cost-effective, but it needs painting and repainting over time. Modern render systems like Krend are more flexible, more crack-resistant, and come pre-coloured through the material, so they never need repainting
Can you render an extension to match my existing house?
Yes — matching texture and colour to blend a new extension with your existing property is something we do regularly and take real care over.
Do you offer free rendering quotes?
Yes, always, with no obligation.
What time of year is best for rendering work?
Warmer, drier months tend to give the most reliable
curing conditions, though we can often work through
much of the year depending on weather — we'll advise
on timing when we quote.
Can rendering be done on any type of wall?
Most brick and blockwork walls are suitable, though we'll check for any underlying issues like damp or structural movement before recommending render as the right solution.
