Before you render in Clontarf
What changes a rendering job here, each from the council plan, heritage register or data sheet it comes from.
Council
Scenic protection across the suburb
Clontarf's housing land falls within the Manly LEP Foreshore Scenic Protection Area. Any render or cladding job that needs a DA has to use non-reflective materials in colours and textures that blend with the bush and harbour.

Coast
Middle Harbour upkeep
On the Middle Harbour waterfront, rendered walls take salt air: Rockcote asks for its systems to be cleaned down every 12 months, with finishes near the coast cleaned more often. For polystyrene boards within 100 m of the water, Unitex requires Class 4 or 316 stainless fixing screws; the 1 km surf rule does not apply here.

Bush fire
Bushland edges
Part of Clontarf's housing land is mapped bush fire prone, mostly next to the Sydney Harbour National Park bushland. On those blocks exempt re-rendering must be ember-sealed and use equal or better materials.
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

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.”
