What we render
Every job starts with the wall in front of us: what it is built from, how it moves and how it needs to look at the end. We also do bagged brick, render removal, rendered mouldings and window bands, and commercial jobs.
Cement rendering
Sand and cement render over brick and block, sponge-floated and ready to paint.
Acrylic rendering
Flexible acrylic systems for Hebel, polystyrene, fibre cement and existing render.White set
A hard, smooth set-plaster finish over render inside the house, ready for paint.
Texture coatings
Texture and membrane coatings over render, brick or fibre cement.
Polystyrene cladding
Panels fixed, meshed, base-coated and rendered as one system.
Render repairs
Cracked, drummy or stained render cut out, patched and matched to the wall.

Reviews
What our clients say
Courteous, tidy, protected the area from debris, cleaned up after and a good job
“Very professional and so helpful! Good communication and a fair price! Arrived nice and early! The rendering was done very well and looks great. The boys were very careful and made no mess! I have no hesitation in recommending Ali and his workers! I am definitely a very happy customer! Job: rear of house rendering plus a variety of rendering repairs in various places! Thank you so much!”
★★★★★Gregory Williams · “We loved dealing with Ali and his team. They are all lovely and really good renderers. We wanted something a little different (a thickly applied splattered style) in some parts of the house,”bagged” in other areas and smooth render in other parts…all was no problem, and expertly done. All fairly priced too. We would definitely recommend Finishing Touch Rendering. Stephanie and David.”

Builders we have rendered for

Which finish suits your walls?
Pick a finish. See where it belongs.
- Best for
- Solid brick, concrete block and concrete walls: older brick houses, new masonry builds, front fences and retaining walls
- Suits
- Face brick, sound existing render, block and concrete. Not Hebel, polystyrene or fibre cement, which need an acrylic system
- Before paint
- Leave new render 28 days before it is coated. Dulux's AcraTex data sheets ask for that long so the alkalinity of new cement surfaces can settle.

Questions
What people ask before booking
Are quotes free?
Yes. Ask by phone, WhatsApp or the form and we reply with a rough estimate; photos of each wall help. We then visit to measure, tap the walls for hollow render, check for damp and cracks and agree the finish, and the final quote comes in writing with what it includes.
Get a free quoteHow much does rendering a house cost in Sydney?
It depends on the wall area and height, what the walls are made of, the repairs needed first, scaffolding and the coating. Our typical prices are about $34–$69 per m² for cement render and $46–$80 per m² for acrylic, including GST, the same across Sydney. Your written quote comes after a visit to measure the walls.
What rendering costs in SydneyAre you licensed?
Yes. Finishing Touch Rendering Pty Ltd (ABN 81 155 453 704) quotes and invoices the work, and Ali Dandan holds NSW Contractor Licence 298643C (Wet Plasterer). In NSW, residential wet plastering and rendering work over $5,000, including GST, needs a contractor licence, and anyone can check a licence on the public register.
Check the licence on the NSW registerDo I need council approval to render my house?
Usually not, unless the house is heritage-listed or in a heritage conservation area. Outside those areas, NSW planning rules let you cement render without council approval, as long as the work keeps the wall’s fire resistance.
Does your house need approval?How long does a rendering job take?
As a general guide, rendering a single-storey brick house takes about 3 to 5 days, a two-storey house 5 to 10 days with scaffolding up throughout, and a single storey 5 to 8 days when the old render is stripped first.
Your house will vary with the wall area, the height, the repairs and the weather, and your quote gives the dates. Then allow for curing: new cement render needs about 28 days before it is coated.
How long render needs before paintingGuides
Before you render
Cement render suits solid brick and block; acrylic suits Hebel, foam, fibre cement and walls that move. A side-by-side table and which walls need which.
What changes when a brick house is rendered, and what to check first: cracks, damp, old paint and heritage consent in NSW conservation areas.
