When a pair of once-sturdy garages began to show their age, their render was crumbling and discolouration had set in. The owners wanted not just a repair, but a complete transformation: something fresh, elegant and built to last. That’s where Peak Plastering And Rendering stepped in.
Identifying the Problem
On inspection, it was clear the existing render had failed in multiple areas. Cracks and loose patches left the substrate exposed to water ingress, while rainwater running off the roof dripped directly onto the render, causing unsightly staining along the tile–render junction. The garages’ appearance undermined the curb appeal of the whole property, and further weather damage was inevitable without the right solution.
Choosing the Right Colour and Materials
The clients opted for African Ivory—a warm, neutral shade that brightens any exterior while complementing older brickwork and roof tiles. This subtle yet inviting hue instantly modernised the look of the garages without overpowering neighbouring structures.
To enhance durability, Peak Plastering And Rendering introduced a PVC angle strip at each eaves overhang. By extending the tile overhang and installing the strip, they created a clear drip edge that directs rainwater away from the render face, preventing staining and moisture damage at the critical junction where roof meets wall.
The Renovation Process
-
Preparation: All loose and damaged render was carefully removed, and surfaces were cleaned to ensure proper adhesion. Any gaps or holes were filled with high-strength basecoat.
-
Basecoat Application: A breathable, fibre-reinforced basecoat was applied to provide a sturdy foundation for the finishing render.
-
PVC Angle Strip Installation: Custom-cut PVC angle strips were fixed along the tile edges. This detail not only enhances protection from rainwater but also adds a crisp, professional line to the finish.
-
Finishing Coat: Two coats of the premium monocouche render in African Ivory were applied, delivering a smooth, consistent appearance. The second coat was trowelled to the desired texture, ensuring seamless coverage.
