An Ultimate Checklist of Tools You Need For Rendering Walls

Wall rendering isn’t something you would try your hands on. It requires a special skill set, the necessary tools, and experience. That’s why you mostly leave it to the experts. But would you believe it if we said that you could do the plastering in London yourself without the help of a plastering contractor? As ambitious as it may sound, it’s possible. With the right guide and the ultimate tool’s checklist – you can be the handyman for the day!

This blog discusses the tools and materials you’ll need to render walls, with some safety tips as the icing at the end.

Tools You Need For Rendering Walls 

Some of the essential tools you need at hand are:

• Trowel: It is required for applying and spreading the render on the walls. It is used to smoothly apply the coating layer to the walls. Thus, a trowel is used for plastering walls as well.
• Straight Edge: These multipurpose sticks are used for smoothing the layers of the render, allowing your wall to be even.
• Rendering Tape: If you want a clean rendering job without the render sticking onto the window or door frames, rendering tape is the best thing for it. It can be applied in specific areas before plastering in London, and when it’s done, remove it!
• Scratching Comb: After the application of each render, you use this comb to scratch the wall surface and create contours. This paves the way for the next coating to firmly attach to the surface.
• Bucket Trowel: The rendering materials can be heavy and difficult to move around. That’s when a bucket trowel comes in handy. It helps to carry the render in a bucket to the spot.
• Sponge Float: While using the trowel to apply the render, you might have noticed it leaves some “lines” that cause unwanted “patterns” on the wall. You can avoid this by soaking up these lines with a sponge float.

Materials You Need For Rendering Walls 

Now that you know what tools the plastering contractors in London use for rendering, it’s time to know what constitutes “render”.

• Render Mortar: Depending on the type of wall you’re planning to plaster, you will have to choose the specific render for it. Using water, you can prepare the render mortar and apply it to the walls to protect them from harsh weather elements.
• Water: Needless to say, water is so basic when it comes to rendering. The trick is how much you should be putting in. So, follow the instructions mentioned in the render powder packet.
