What’s the Difference Between Plastering and Rendering (Solid Plastering)?

They might look similar once finished, but plastering and rendering are two distinctly different methods, and it’s good to know what sets them apart.

Plastering: Plastering is a finer, thinner coat, usually pre-mixed, applied over a base layer like mesh or cladding. It’s often used for interior walls or modern exterior surfaces where you want flexibility in the finish.

Rendering: Rendering is heavier-duty. It’s a sand and cement mix, laid on thick over block, brick, or concrete. It’s built to take on the outdoors, giving you a solid, weather-resistant finish that stands up to the elements.
We also offer silicone rendering for extra waterproofing and Venetian plastering if you’re after something a bit more premium. Not sure which one fits your place? No worries, we’ll talk you through it and help you land on the right option.

When Do You Need Plastering and Rendering Services?

Not every wall problem needs fixing, but when it does, it pays to spot it early. Here’s how to tell when your place might need plastering or rendering work.

Cracks and Movement

Small cracks often show up over time from settling foundations or weather wear. They might seem minor, but they let in moisture and cause more damage than you’d think. Our team offers proper plastering repair solutions that sort the problem at its core, not just a surface cover-up.

Worn or Patchy Exterior

If your walls are flaking, faded, or uneven, that’s a sign the render or plaster is starting to fail. We can bring it back to life with a full exterior plastering refresh, stronger protection, a better look, and long-term performance.

Moisture Leaks or Damp Patches

Water creeping through your walls is never a good sign. It usually means the outer layer isn’t holding up. We offer damp-proof rendering, including silicone house rendering, to seal things off and keep the inside dry and warm; no mould, no rot, no stress.

The Look Is Outdated

Maybe your place just feels tired from the outside. A fresh render or modern finish can give it a clean, updated feel, whether you’re planning to stay, sell, or just want your home to feel like yours again.

We work with homes across Auckland, Orewa, North Shore, Ponsonby, and more; wherever you are, we’ve got it covered.

Plastering and Rendering Services

We’ve been doing this long enough to know what works and what doesn’t. Whether you need a clean, smooth look or something with a bit more texture, we’ll match the finish to the feel of your place. Our solid plastering adds strength, helps with insulation, and holds up well in all kinds of weather. If you're dealing with leaks or damp, we can use silicone rendering to seal it off properly. And if you’re after something more polished, we also do Venetian plastering for a finer finish. If the inside needs work too, take a look at our GIB stopping page; we’ve got that covered as well.

West & Sons Construction - The External Plastering Experts

Here’s what sets us apart: the people, the process, and the pride we take in doing things right.

Specialised Plastering Solutions

Cracks, chips, and bubbling plaster aren’t just surface problems; they often point to bigger issues underneath. Left untreated, they can let in moisture, cause damp patches, and slowly eat away at the structure of your home or building.Our outside plaster repair services are designed to fix that properly.
We don’t do quick touch-ups that flake off in a few months. We investigate what’s causing the issue, plan out the repair in detail, and use materials that can actually stand up to New Zealand’s weather. That’s what separates us from the “cheap and fast” crowd; we do it once, and we do it right.

We often get called in by:
Homeowners needing repairs after storm damage
Property managers dealing with long-neglected rentals
Insurance reinstatement jobs where accuracy and quality matter

Whatever the case, our goal is the same: to get your exterior sorted and protected without cutting corners.

FAQs – Exterior Plastering & Rendering

What’s the difference between plastering and rendering?
Plastering is generally a thinner, finer coat that’s used on modern exteriors or interior walls. It gives you more flexibility with finishes. Rendering, on the other hand, is thicker and tougher, usually a sand and cement mix designed to handle weather and wear. We offer both, including solid plastering and silicone rendering, depending on what your place needs.
How do I know if my house needs plaster repair or rendering?
Look out for cracks, damp patches, bubbling surfaces, or areas where the finish is flaking or faded. These are all signs that your current plaster or render is starting to fail. If you’re unsure, we’re happy to check it out and give you clear advice – no pressure, no jargon.
Do you only do plastering in Auckland?
Nope! While our HQ is in Auckland, we also cover areas like Orewa, Silverdale, Whangaparāoa, Takapuna, and the East Coast Bays. We’ve got teams working across the North Shore, city fringe, and coastal suburbs, so chances are, we’re already nearby.
Can you fix leaks or damp issues in exterior walls?
Yes, that’s a big part of what we do. Leaks often mean the render or plaster layer has broken down. We use specialised systems like damp-proof rendering and silicone-based coatings to fully seal your exterior and stop moisture getting in.
Do you work with insurance reinstatements or repairs?
We do. If your home’s been damaged and you’re going through an insurance claim, we can help with reinstatement plastering. We’re experienced working with insurers and can provide detailed scope-of-work reports and reliable timelines.
What kind of finishes can I get with plastering or rendering?
There are heaps of options. We can do smooth, clean looks or textured finishes depending on your style. For something more decorative or high-end, we also offer Venetian plastering. If you’re not sure what will suit your home, we can show you samples and walk you through the choices.
How much does it cost to render a house in NZ?
It depends on a few things: the size of the property, the condition of the current walls, and what kind of system or finish you want. We’ll give you a clear, detailed quote upfront with no hidden costs. If you’d like to get an estimate, get in touch with us here.
