Before you render in North Willoughby
What changes a rendering job here, each from the council plan, heritage register or data sheet it comes from.
Heritage
Hollywood Crescent
The horseshoe of Hollywood Crescent is a conservation area of 1920s Californian bungalows. Willoughby's controls keep all unpainted red or liver face brick, with stucco only on the upper wall surfaces, so a re-render here means patching that stucco, not covering the 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

Heritage
Horsley Avenue and Summerville Crescent
Horsley Avenue has Inter-war bungalows in dark red-brown and liver brick on sandstone bases, and Summerville Crescent has 1930s bungalows with contrasting brick detailing. The controls retain all unpainted face brick, with render or sandstone only at the base course.

Listed houses
Outside those streets, many houses are listed, along with a hotel and the fire station. Most listings include original interiors, and changing their finishes needs consent.

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.”
