Before you render in Balgowlah

What changes a rendering job here, each from the council plan, heritage register or data sheet it comes from.

  1. Heritage

    Listed houses

    Manly LEP 2013 lists a number of items in Balgowlah, mostly houses. On these the Manly DCP says original face brick is not to be rendered or painted, and repainting existing render must suit the house's period.

    For your render: We check your address against these rules before quoting, so the render, finish and colour suit what the council allows there. Cement rendering

  2. Council

    North Harbour scenic slopes

    Part of Balgowlah's housing land, on the North Harbour side, is in the Foreshore Scenic Protection Area, so DA work there needs non-reflective, landscape-coloured finishes.

  • “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.”
