About City Renderers: Rendering Cheshire Professionals
Gary Homestead, founder of City Renderers, built the business on the understanding that render done properly the first time saves property owners from expensive remedial work down the line. Backed by 6+ years in the trade, CSCS accreditation, and K Rend approval, we work with property managers, landlords, facilities managers, and commercial developers across Cheshire.

Our Approach to Rendering Cheshire Properties
Good rendering starts before a single bag of material is opened. We begin every project with a thorough site assessment — looking at the existing substrate, any signs of moisture ingress, structural movement, or poor previous work that could compromise a new finish.
We specify materials to suit the building, not the other way around. That means different systems for different substrates: silicone render for properties needing long-term flexibility and weather resistance, traditional sand and cement where the brief calls for it, and textured finishes where the client wants a specific aesthetic result.
We will not apply a new render system over a failing substrate and call it done. If prep work is needed — removal of loose material, treatment of damp, mesh reinforcement, or repair of the base coat — that work happens first. The result is a finish that holds.
Our written quotes set out the specification clearly: surface area, system type, number of coats, preparation scope, and access requirements. You know what you're getting before we start.
Our Team
City Renderers operates with a team of 8 specialists, each working within a clearly defined role on site. Crews are assigned to projects based on the system being installed and the scale of the work. No one person covers everything — the prep team, applicators, and finishing crew work in sequence, which keeps quality consistent from the base coat through to the final surface.
Gary Homestead oversees each project at key stages, ensuring the specification agreed at quote stage is what gets delivered on the day.

- K Rend approved application where the system calls for it

No surprises. No scope creep without discussion. No handover until the finish meets the standard agreed.
Our Standards
City Renderers holds CSCS accreditation, K Rend approved installer status, and employs CITB-trained operatives. These aren't decorative — they define who we put on site and how we apply render systems.
The 10-30 Years Coating warranty we offer on qualifying work reflects how seriously we take the specification process. A warranty is only worth something when the prep, the product, and the application are all done correctly. We work to make sure they are.
All operatives are fully insured. Written quotes and written workmanship commitments come as standard — not on request.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of property does City Renderers work on?
We work on residential and commercial properties across Cheshire. That includes houses, retail units, offices, warehouses, industrial units, and hospitality venues. If the building has an external wall that needs rendering, we can assess it. The system we recommend depends on the substrate, condition, and your specification requirements.
Does City Renderers carry out render repairs as well as full new installations?
Yes. Render repair is a core part of what we do. Cracked, hollow, or spalling render doesn't always require full removal and replacement — in many cases a targeted repair extends the life of the existing system significantly. We assess the extent of the failure at the site visit and advise on the most cost-effective approach.
What is the 10-30 Years Coating warranty?
The 10-30 Years Coating warranty is offered on qualifying render systems where the full specification — preparation, base coat, reinforcement, and finishing coat — has been applied correctly using approved materials. The duration depends on the system installed and the condition of the substrate. Full details are provided in writing as part of your project documentation.
