Before you render in Elizabeth Bay

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

  1. Heritage

    Elizabeth and Rushcutters Bays area

    Most of Elizabeth Bay is in the Elizabeth and Rushcutters Bays heritage conservation area, and much of the rest is in the Potts Point area. The Sydney DCP says existing face brick and stone walls there are not to 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. Heritage

    State-listed harbour houses

    Several Elizabeth Bay properties are on the State Heritage Register. Work on those needs a State heritage approval as well as the City's.

  3. Coast

    Salt air by the bay

    Elizabeth Bay's harbour edge is within 100 m of salt water, and render there needs more care than inland: Rockcote asks for its systems to be washed down every 12 months, with paintwork and textures near the coast cleaned more often. Polystyrene cladding needs Class 4 or 316 stainless steel screws under Unitex's manual.

  • “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.”
