How we approached it
Render up to the brick — cut clean, every corner.
The owner wanted the original red-brick quoins kept proud against fresh render. That means slow corners, masking the brick, and topcoats that finish flush rather than over the top.
- Walls prepped to a sound base. Loose material chased out, mortar joints repaired, dust contained.
- Brick quoins masked off, every corner. Tape and beads set so the render finishes flush with the brick.
- Mesh in the basecoat, doubled at the corners. Stops hairline cracks where render meets the brick line.
- Topcoat in silicone, cut back to the brick. Crisp line at every quoin, no overspray on the originals.
- Window reveals, valleys and conservatory tied in. Clean lines around the openings, weatherproofed at every junction.

The walkthrough.
“They got exactly what we asked for — keep the brick quoins, render the rest. Clean lines into the brickwork, you can't tell where one stops and the other starts.”
