ABOUT RECENTLY RENDERED
Exterior Rendering Done Properly
Recently Rendered is a specialist exterior rendering company helping homeowners, landlords, builders and commercial clients improve and protect their properties.
Based in York and working throughout Yorkshire, we provide complete rendering services covering preparation, repairs, render removal, reinforced basecoat systems and modern exterior finishes.
From silicone and monocouche render to spray cork coatings and full exterior refurbishments, every project is approached with careful preparation, clear communication and close attention to detail.
WHO WE ARE
A rendering company built around quality and honest advice
We believe the quality of an exterior finish depends on what happens before the final render is applied.
That is why we focus heavily on inspecting the walls, preparing the background correctly and recommending a system that suits the condition and construction of the property.
OUR STORY
Why We Created Recently Rendered
Recently Rendered was created to provide property owners with a more focused and dependable exterior rendering service.
Rendering is often treated as only the final decorative coat. In reality, the condition of the existing walls, the preparation beneath the finish and the compatibility of the materials are what determine whether a system performs properly.
Our approach is therefore built around completing the full process correctly. We inspect the existing walls, explain any defects we find and recommend the most suitable preparation and render system for the property.
This may involve retaining and preparing sound existing render, completing local repairs, removing failed pebbledash or hacking an unsuitable finish back to the original masonry.
Only once the background is properly prepared do we install the selected silicone, monocouche or cork finish.
MODERN THIN-COAT SYSTEMS
Silicone render creates a breathable, flexible and water-repellent exterior finish. Installed over a properly prepared and mesh-reinforced basecoat, it provides a clean and consistent appearance in a wide choice of colours. Silicone render is particularly suitable for full-property refurbishments, extensions and homeowners wanting a modern exterior with reduced maintenance requirements.
THROUGH-COLOURED FINISHES
Monocouche Rendering Monocouche is a through-coloured mineral render with a traditional scraped texture. It is commonly used on extensions, new-build properties and full exterior refurbishments where a thicker, more traditional rendered appearance is required. The colour is incorporated throughout the render, meaning the completed surface does not require immediate exterior painting.
BREATHABLE CORK COATINGS
Cork Rendering and Spray Cork Spray cork is a breathable and flexible exterior wall coating containing natural cork granules. It can be used to refurbish many properly prepared surfaces, including existing render, masonry and suitable pebbledash. The finished coating creates an attractive textured appearance while also providing weather-resistant, thermal and acoustic properties.
OUR APPROACH
Good rendering starts beneath the surface
Exterior rendering should never be treated as simply covering over an existing problem.
Cracking, blown render, water penetration and unstable backgrounds must be investigated before a new finish is applied. Covering failed render may temporarily improve its appearance, but it will not restore the bond between the render and the wall.
Our team assesses each elevation and explains whether the existing surface can be repaired and retained or whether more extensive removal is required.
Depending on the property, our work may include
-
Removing loose, hollow or failed render
-
Hacking old pebbledash back to brickwork
-
Repairing damaged masonry and cracks
-
Installing corner, stop and bellcast beads
-
Applying reinforced basecoat systems
-
Embedding fibreglass reinforcement mesh
-
Priming the prepared surface
-
Spray applying the selected exterior finish
-
Completing a full inspection and clean-down
WHAT MATTERS TO US
The standards behind every project
We believe the quality of an exterior finish depends on what happens before the final render is applied.
That is why we focus heavily on inspecting the walls, preparing the background correctly and recommending a system that suits the condition and construction of the property.
How we work
A clear process from
survey to completion
Every project is planned around the property, the existing walls and the finish you want to achieve.
01
Property survey
We inspect the exterior walls, identify defects and discuss your preferred appearance, colour and finish. Where photographs provide enough information, we may be able to offer initial guidance before arranging a site visit.
02
Written quotation
You receive a clear quotation explaining the proposed preparation, render system and work included. Scaffolding, waste removal and other project requirements will be identified where applicable.
03
Preparation and application
The surrounding property is carefully protected before cleaning, repairs and preparation begin. The specified basecoat, reinforcement, primer and final render finish are then professionally installed.
04
Inspection and clean-down
The completed elevations are inspected and finishing details are completed. Masking and protection are removed before the surrounding work area is thoroughly cleaned.
WHY CHOOSE US?
Specialist knowledge for better exterior finishes
Recently Rendered focuses specifically on exterior rendering and wall refurbishment.
This allows us to offer informed advice across different systems rather than trying to force every property into the same solution.
We understand that a modern silicone finish may be right for one property, while another may be better suited to monocouche, spray cork or a carefully matched render repair.
Our role is to assess the building, explain the available options and install the selected system to a professional standard.

We can explain the differences between each option during the quotation process.
Yes. Where the existing render or pebbledash has become loose, hollow or extensively damaged, we can remove it back to a stable background.
The exposed brickwork or blockwork is then inspected, repaired and prepared before the new render system is installed.
Complete removal is not always necessary, so the existing walls must be assessed before work is recommended.
In some cases, yes.
Existing render may be retained where it remains stable, firmly bonded and compatible with the proposed system.
Loose, hollow and damaged sections must be removed and repaired first. The walls may also require cleaning, reinforcement, primer or a complete new basecoat.
Scaffolding is normally required for upper-storey rendering and complete-property refurbishments.
We can coordinate the scaffolding required for the project or clearly identify the requirements within the quotation.
Access arrangements will be discussed before work begins.
Yes. We provide free quotations for suitable rendering and exterior wall refurbishment projects.
