Render Painting in Leicester
Leicester Decorators paint rendered walls across Leicester and Leicestershire, covering smooth and sand-faced render, K-Rend, and lime render on period properties.
A rendered house that needs repainting is one of the most visible problems on any frontage. Staining, algae growth, cracking, or a faded colour all signal it’s time. Rendered properties across Blaby, Narborough, Glen Parva, and Wigston typically need a full repaint every five to ten years.
- Smooth and sand-faced rendered walls — colour refresh or change
- Hairline crack repairs before painting
- K-Rend and polymer render systems
- Lime render on Victorian and Edwardian properties
- Biological growth treatment on north-facing elevations

Render Painting Services in Leicester
Smooth and Fine-Textured Render
Smooth and fine-textured render is the most common finish on Leicester’s postwar housing stock. We use breathable exterior masonry paint, applied by brush, roller, or spray. Two finish coats are standard. We also offer dedicated conservatory painting services.
A colour change from an aged cream to a contemporary off-white or warm grey is one of the most effective transformations available. For properties with pebbledash upper storeys, we cover both finishes in a single project.
Hairline Cracks and Surface Repairs
Hairline cracking is normal in rendered walls. Fine cracks need to be filled with exterior flexible filler before painting. Left open, they allow water to penetrate the render. We inspect the full surface at survey stage and include all repairs in the quote.
K-Rend and Polymer Render
K-Rend and similar systems are found across Oadby, Syston, Birstall, and Narborough. We use a compatible exterior primer before the finish coat. Applying incompatible paint causes peeling.
Lime Render on Period Properties
Victorian and Edwardian properties in Stoneygate and Clarendon Park sometimes have original lime render. Lime render must not be overcoated with modern impermeable masonry paint. We use breathable, lime-compatible coatings on these surfaces. We also offer dedicated masonry painting services.
Biological Growth Treatment
North-facing and shaded elevations develop algae, moss, and lichen. We apply a mould treatment wash after pressure washing. Painting over biological growth causes early failure. For a full exterior painting project covering all surfaces, see our dedicated page.
Here’s How It Works
1. Survey
We inspect the rendered surface for cracks, hollow sections, biological growth, damp, and render type.
2. Pressure Washing
The full surface is cleaned to remove dirt, algae, and loose material.
3. Mould Treatment
Applied to any affected areas and allowed to dry fully before painting.
4. Crack Filling and Repairs
Hairline cracks are filled with exterior flexible filler. Hollow sections are repaired.
5. Priming
Bare or repaired areas receive the appropriate masonry primer before finish coats.
6. Paint Application
Two finish coats of breathable exterior masonry paint, applied by brush, roller, or spray.
