FAQ - A Guide to Rendering in Melbourne
What is the average cost of rendering a house in Melbourne?
The cost of rendering a house in Melbourne generally ranges from $40 to $80 per square metre, depending on the type of render used (e.g., acrylic or cement), surface condition, property size, and access. Decorative finishes or texture coatings may cost more. For an accurate quote, it’s best to contact a local rendering expert like Viva Rendering.
What is the difference between acrylic rendering and cement rendering?
Acrylic rendering is a flexible, weather-resistant render that dries faster and is less prone to cracking. It can be applied to various surfaces, including painted walls. Cement rendering, on the other hand, is a more traditional and cost-effective method, typically used to brick or concrete walls. Acrylic is often chosen for its durability and decorative finishes.
How long does rendering last on a house?
A professionally applied render in Melbourne can last 20 to 30 years with proper maintenance. Acrylic renders generally provide greater longevity and weather resistance than cement renders. Factors such as climate exposure, material quality, and surface preparation also influence the lifespan of the render.
Is rendering worth it in Melbourne’s climate?
Absolutely. Rendering is a smart investment in Melbourne’s variable climate, as it provides weather protection, enhances thermal insulation, and increases property value. Acrylic renders are particularly advantageous because of their UV resistance and water-repelling qualities.
Can I render over existing painted or brick surfaces?
Yes, rendering can be applied over both painted and brick surfaces, provided they are properly prepared. Acrylic renders are ideal for painted surfaces because of their superior adhesion. A professional renderer will assess and prepare the surface to ensure optimal bonding.
How long does it take to render a house in Melbourne?
The duration varies depending on the property’s size and the type of render. Most standard residential homes in Melbourne can be rendered within 5 to 10 days, including preparation and drying times. Larger projects or intricate finishes may take longer.
Does rendering improve property value?
Yes, rendering can greatly boost your property’s kerb appeal and market value. A fresh, modern rendered finish often attracts more buyers and enhances your home’s perceived worth, especially in competitive Melbourne suburbs.
What areas in Melbourne do you service for rendering?
At Viva Rendering, we provide rendering services across all Melbourne suburbs, including the northern, western, eastern, and south-eastern regions. Whether you’re in Preston, Werribee, Box Hill, or Dandenong, our team can reach you with ease.
Do I need council approval for rendering in Melbourne?
Generally, council approval isn’t required for rendering external walls, especially if you’re not altering the structural layout. However, if your property is heritage-listed or located in a conservation zone, it’s best to check with your local Melbourne council.
How do I choose the right rendering company in Melbourne?
Look for a rendering company that is licensed, insured, and experienced in handling various rendering types, such as acrylic, cement, and Hebel. Check online reviews, past projects, and ensure they offer transparent quotes. Homeowners and builders across Melbourne trust Viva Rendering for quality, professionalism, and reliable service.
