Before you render in Chatswood

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

  1. Heritage

    North and South Chatswood

    Parts of Chatswood are in the South Chatswood and North Chatswood conservation areas, with Blue Gum, Harwood Avenue and Findlay and Wyvern Avenues as well. In all of them, Willoughby's DCP says original unpainted brick must not be rendered or painted.

    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. Houses

    From Victorian mansions to bungalows

    South Chatswood is described as late Victorian mansions, Federation villas and later bungalows; North Chatswood as single-storey Federation and Inter-war bungalows. Those styles usually mean face brick with small rendered details, which keep their original shape rather than spreading across the brick.

  3. Bush fire

    Bush fire prone edges

    Parts of Chatswood are mapped bush fire prone. On those lots exempt re-rendering must be ember-sealed (Codes SEPP cl 2.54(c)).

    For your render: On bush fire prone land the render or cladding system has to suit the block's bush fire attack level (BAL), with gaps sealed against embers. Polystyrene cladding

  • “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.”
