Before you render in Dawes Point
What changes a rendering job here, each from the council plan, heritage register or data sheet it comes from.
Heritage
State Heritage Register precinct
Most of Dawes Point is on the State Heritage Register as part of the Millers Point and Dawes Point Village Precinct. External work needs Heritage Council approval unless a standard exemption applies.
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

Heritage
No painting of unpainted stone or brick
The standard exemption for painting does not cover previously unpainted face brick, stone or concrete, and old paint can only be stripped where it has failed. Repainting significant fabric needs an isolating layer.
Coast
Harbour-front cleaning
Much of Dawes Point is within 100 m of the harbour. Rockcote's guide asks for its render systems to be cleaned down every 12 months, and says paintwork and finishes close to the coast need more regular cleaning. For polystyrene cladding, Unitex specifies Class 4 or 316 stainless steel screws here.

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.”
