Choose the right render for your Leeds home

Different properties require different solutions, so we offer three modern rendering systems with their own practical benefits:

Silicone render

Silicone render provides a smart, contemporary finish that is water-resistant while allowing the wall beneath to breathe. Its flexibility and resistance to cracking make it a practical, low-maintenance choice for many Leeds homes. A wide range of colours is available, whether you want to refresh older walls, finish an extension or create a consistent appearance across different elevations.

EWI render

External wall insulation, often shortened to EWI, combines insulation boards with a reinforced basecoat and protective rendered finish. It can improve the thermal performance of suitable solid-wall homes while updating the outside of the property at the same time. Total Trades installs EWI Pro systems and can explain the available silicone, silicone silicate, mineral and acrylic finishes.

Cork render

Cork render is a flexible sprayed coating produced using natural cork granules. SprayCork is breathable, weather-resistant and highly resistant to cracking, with potential thermal and acoustic benefits depending on the property and application. As a CorkSol Approved Applicator, we install cork render in Leeds in accordance with the manufacturer’s requirements.

Rendering homes across Leeds

Leeds has a varied mix of housing, including traditional terraces, stone and brick semi-detached homes, post-war estates, modern developments and properties that have been altered or extended over time. Existing external finishes can also vary, with some homes affected by cracking, staining, hollow areas or inconsistent surfaces between the original building and later additions.

Before recommending a rendering system, we’ll inspect the walls and identify the preparation needed to create a sound base. Loose or failed materials should be dealt with before a new finish is applied. We provide rendering throughout Leeds, including Headingley, Roundhay, Chapel Allerton, Moortown, Horsforth, Pudsey, Morley, Garforth, Rothwell, Cross Gates and surrounding areas.

A straightforward rendering process

We’ll begin by visiting your property to inspect the external walls and discuss the result you want to achieve. Our team will explain which systems are suitable, identify repairs or preparation that may be needed and provide a clear quotation based on the agreed specification.

If you choose to proceed, we’ll prepare the surfaces, complete the necessary repairs and apply the selected rendering system in line with the manufacturer’s guidance. We’ll take care around your home, keep the working area as tidy as reasonably possible and inspect the completed finish. Where available, we’ll also explain the manufacturer-backed warranty that applies to your chosen system.

I have come across many builders in my life but Total Trades led by Lee are the best. They tackled a difficult job, in poor weather, which included replacing asbestos soil downpipes, excavation for and replacement of damaged drainage, then making good with concrete and tarmac and leaving the site clean and tidy. I know it took a great deal of care and attention to detail to make such an excellent job and I have not seen better workmanship. If ever I need anything else doing their’s will be the number I will call.Peter Parkinson

★★★★★

We found Lee from Total Trades to be very helpful and professional in carrying out the Cork rendering of our property. The job has taken much longer than we had hoped due to the poor weather this year and difficulties with sourcing the Cork render. These were all matters beyond his control but he did keep us informed all the way through. The job was difficult due to proximity to other properties and Lee was excellent in his efforts to complete the work whilst maintaining good relations with our neighbours. We are really happy with the results.

Rendering Leeds FAQs

How much does rendering cost in Leeds?

The price depends on the size and design of the property, the condition of the walls, access, the amount of preparation required and the rendering system selected. Extensions, conservatories and the number of elevations can also affect the quotation. We’ll inspect your Leeds property and provide a clear, no-obligation price for the agreed work.

Which type of render is best for my Leeds property?

The most suitable system depends on the existing walls and what you want to achieve. Silicone render provides a modern, low-maintenance finish. External wall insulation may be appropriate where improving the thermal performance of suitable solid walls is a priority. Cork render provides a flexible, breathable sprayed coating. We’ll assess the property and explain the appropriate options.

Can you apply new render over existing render?

A new system can sometimes be applied over existing render when it is stable, well bonded and suitable for the chosen product. Loose, hollow, cracked or badly deteriorated areas may need to be removed or repaired first. We’ll inspect the existing finish before specifying the preparation and application method.

Can you repair cracked render in Leeds?

Yes, cracks can often be repaired during the preparation stage, although the right approach depends on their cause and severity. Fine surface cracking may require a different treatment from movement cracks or areas where the render has separated from the wall. We’ll assess the damage before recommending a repair or replacement system.

Can exterior rendering make my home warmer?

Standard render is principally used to protect walls and improve their appearance. Some products can provide limited additional thermal benefits, but render alone is not a complete insulation system. Where improving the performance of suitable solid walls is a priority, external wall insulation may be more appropriate because dedicated insulation boards are installed beneath the rendered finish.

How long should external render last?

The service life of render depends on the product, the quality of the surface preparation and installation, the exposure of the property and future maintenance. Modern silicone, EWI and cork systems are designed to give long-lasting performance when correctly specified and applied. We’ll explain the expected performance and any applicable warranty before the project begins.
