Before you render in Northbridge
What changes a rendering job here, each from the council plan, heritage register or data sheet it comes from.
Bush fire
Bush fire prone gullies
Parts of Northbridge, mostly its gullies, are mapped bush fire prone. If your lot is on it, a re-render done without a DA still has to keep embers out (Codes SEPP cl 2.54(c)).
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
Coast
Upkeep on the harbour edge
On Northbridge's Middle Harbour edge, within 100 m of salt water, a rendered wall needs more care: Rockcote asks for its systems to be cleaned down every 12 months, and painted or textured finishes near the coast more often. For EPS cladding there, Unitex requires Class 4 or 316 stainless fixings.

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.”
