Before you render in Mount Colah
What changes a rendering job here, each from the council plan, heritage register or data sheet it comes from.
Bush fire
Bush fire prone streets
Much of Mount Colah is mapped bush fire prone, with Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park making up a large part of it. Check your lot on the RFS tool before choosing a system: on bush fire prone land, an exempt re-render must stop embers getting in.
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
Heritage
Listed houses and colour
Mount Colah has only a couple of listed houses. If you own one, Hornsby's DCP asks for two or more period colours rather than a single colour, and no paint over original face brick.
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
Sources checked . Council rules change, so we confirm what applies to your house before quoting.
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.”
