Choose the right render for your home
At Total Trades, we offer three rendering options – each with their own distinct benefits:
Silicone render
Silicone render is a budget-friendly option that provides water-resistance and breathability for your home. It’s low maintenance, crack-resistant and available in a choice of colours to transform or refresh the appearance of your property.
EWI render
External Wall Insulation Systems (EWI Pro) offers a range of high-quality renders including silicone silicate, mineral and acrylic. They’re BBA approved and available exclusively from registered EWI Pro installers – which includes Total Trades for Doncaster and the surrounding areas.
Cork render
If you’re looking for an eco-friendly render that doesn’t compromise on performance, SprayCork is the answer. As a CorkSol Approved Applicator, we can apply cork render to the highest standards for thermal insulation and a range of other benefits.
As local rendering experts, we aim to make the process simple for homeowners throughout Yorkshire. That starts with a choice of tried-and-tested products, which our team can talk you through without any obligation or bias. We’ll recommend what’s right for you based on your preferences and budget then provide a free quote so you can make an informed decision.
Rest assured, we’re qualified and approved for all rendering solutions offered. That means we can apply your render to the highest standards if you choose to proceed. Our team will treat your home as if it’s our own and arrive on the agreed dates. We can also honour manufacturer warranties, such as 25 years for SprayCork and 10-25 years for EWI render systems.
Customer Reviews
Excellent4.8★★★★★ Based on 24 reviews fromCallum Lister ★★★★★ Very trustworthy and honest after bad experience with other companies Lee and the team have restored my faith wouldn’t hesitate to call them againPeter Parkinson ★★★★★ 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 ParkinsonKevin Glover ★★★★★ Lee and his team have a great product and service. Corksol looks very crisp and fresh. Very easy firm to work with.Steve Towell ★★★★★ Great experience working with Lee and team ,the work has transformed our home ,it’s a fantastic product ,covers a multitude of sins ,would highly recommend.Andrew Bardsley ★★★★★ 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.Denise Bassett ★★★★★ Lee came out to look at a problem with our kitchen wall. He told us the problem within minutes!! He told us the simple solution 😁. Thankyou Lee for solving our problem and being so honest 😁😁. You certainly know your Trade.Philip Carr ★★★★★ Lee and his team refurbished our external rendering with Corksol Spray.From the onset Lee was most helpful knowledgable always either answered his telephone or return calls quickly.The work was undertaken and carried out to plan. We are really pleased with the finished result. We would definitely use again for any building work in the future.Chantelle Kelly ★★★★★ I recently contacted total trades to take a look at our leaking flat roof (3 in total), the company was highly professional from the very first point of contact. It soon became apparent that our roof was in a bad condition, and the previous roofer had done a really bad job using shed felt, and poor workmanship. Total trades provided us with a quote for a new GRP roof and trims, and we got booked in quickly for the work to be carried out. On the day, the team was fantastic. They arrived on time, was friendly and polite, took their boots off when indoors, and tidied up at the end of each day. Once the job was complete, they took away all the old felt and timber to dispose of, and left us with a brand new watertight roof with a 20 year guarantee. We are extremely pleased with the whole process, from first point of contact all the way through to completion, and would highly recommend Total Trades to everyone. They set a perfect example of how companies should operate, and have left us with total peace of mind. Thank you for such an amazing service.

The cost of rendering depends on the size of your property, the contractor you’re using and the products you’ve chosen. However, you can expect cheaper options to have a shorter lifespan, so there is usually a balance of cost versus quality and longevity. Our team can explain your options in more detail and give you a no obligation quote.
Will my render crack overtime?
Having worked with traditional renders, we’ve witnessed the pitfalls like cracking and discolouration first-hand. That’s why we’ve hand-picked the best rendering products to give our customers a long-lasting, low-maintenance solution. Cork, silicone and EWI are all highly crack-resistant renders.
What are the benefits of exterior rendering?
Rendering your walls or replacing existing render has numerous benefits. It can improve thermal insulation, reduce the amount of noise coming into your home, and protect your property from the elements. It will also enhance kerb appeal with a stylish, modern appearance in a choice of colours.
