Rendering in Dunedin — What to Know
Substrate check
Confirm your wall substrate — brick, block, AAC, fibre cement or weatherboard — before choosing a render system. Each has different bonding and compatibility requirements.
Climate consideration
Local climate affects render choice. Humid or coastal areas suit silicone or acrylic systems. Heritage zones often require lime render. Always ask your renderer what they recommend for your specific location.
Scaffolding
Scaffolding for double-storey homes is commonly excluded from render quotes. Confirm whether scaffolding is included and who arranges it before comparing quotes side by side.
