Before you render in Vaucluse
What changes a rendering job here, each from the council plan, heritage register or data sheet it comes from.
Council
Woollahra and Waverley
Most of Vaucluse is Woollahra Council, and the ocean side is Waverley Council, each with its own DCP rules on painting brick and its own heritage exemption process.
Coast
Surf and harbour air
Much of Vaucluse is within 1 km of breaking surf, and its harbour edge is within 100 m of salt water. On either side, Rockcote asks for its render systems to be cleaned down every 12 months and for finishes close to the coast to be cleaned more often. Unitex specifies Class 4 or 316 stainless steel screws for polystyrene cladding in both zones.

Heritage
Bell Street cottages
The small Bell Street heritage area keeps one and two-storey late Victorian weatherboard cottages, so render does not belong on their walls.
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

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.”
