Before you render in Paddington
What changes a rendering job here, each from the council plan, heritage register or data sheet it comes from.
Council
Two councils, two rule books
North of Oxford Street, Paddington is Woollahra Council's Paddington heritage conservation area. The southern part is City of Sydney land in the Paddington South, Paddington Urban and Victoria Barracks areas, under the Sydney DCP.
Heritage
Woollahra's terrace render rules
North of Oxford Street, unpainted original brick or stone must not be rendered, bagged or painted. Original render must not be removed unless the wall is re-rendered straight away, and where it has gone, new render must be applied and 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
Heritage
Party walls and colour boards
Woollahra's Paddington chapter requires the whole face of a party wall to be one colour and matching terraces in a row to use consistent tones. A colour board goes to Council for any new scheme.
Houses
Victorian terraces south of Oxford Street
The Paddington Urban listing describes mainly two to three storey Victorian terraces. Under the Sydney DCP, existing face brick there is not to be rendered or painted.
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.”
