Plastering Vs Rendering
Plastering is predominantly used for interior applications, where its fine, smooth finish creates an elegant surface on walls and ceilings. This process typically involves a mixture with a lower cement content and finer sand, resulting in a lightweight, easily painted, and decorative surface ideal for enhancing the ambience of your indoor spaces.
Our plastering services offer expert techniques to achieve flawless, refined interiors. We begin by applying plaster to create smooth, even walls and ceilings, followed by skimming to produce an impeccable surface ideal for painting. We also provide boarding for stable plasterboard installation, MF ceilings using modern metal stud systems for improved acoustics, and metal stud partitioning for durable wall divisions. Additionally, our dry lining techniques enhance insulation and finish existing surfaces elegantly, ensuring a seamless transition where needed.
Rendering, on the other hand, is specifically designed for external surfaces. With a higher cement content and coarser materials, rendering provides a robust and weather-resistant finish that protects your property from the elements.
we utilise innovative, machine-sprayed, silicone-based coloured render systems that integrate water repellency directly into the mix. This ensures that your walls remain not only visually appealing—with a natural, long-lasting finish available in a variety of attractive colours, but also durable enough to withstand the challenges of the Mediterranean climate without the need for frequent repainting.
Our exterior rendering services cover a range of solutions including acrylic, silicone, mineral, and insulated render options, as well as complementary cladding services with wood or stone finishes.
Our services are tailored to meet every aspect of your building’s requirements, whether it’s transforming your interior with flawless plastering or enhancing your exterior with resilient rendering. With our expert team, you benefit from a comprehensive service that ensures each project is executed to the highest standards. We provide complete plastering and rendering solutions designed to add both beauty and durability to your property, ensuring that every surface—inside and out, reflects our commitment to quality and craftsmanship.

Top 10 Tips for Plastering and Rendering
Plastering and rendering are skilled trades that require precision, the right materials, and a professional approach to achieve lasting results. Whether you are tackling internal walls or external finishes, the techniques used can make a huge difference to both appearance and durability. From preparing the surface correctly to applying smooth, even layers and allowing proper drying time, every stage plays an important role in the final outcome. To help guide homeowners and property renovators, we’ve put together our top ten tips.
#1 for Plasterers in Spain
Always Prepare the Surface Properly
One of the most important steps in plastering or rendering is preparation. Surfaces must be clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or loose material before any plaster or render is applied. Skipping this step can lead to poor adhesion, cracks, or uneven finishes. In many cases, bonding agents or primers are required to create the ideal base. Professional plasterers know that the quality of the finish is only as good as the preparation, so time spent getting the surface ready always pays off.
Clean and dry all surfaces before starting
Remove dust, grease, or loose paint
Apply bonding agents where needed
Fill cracks and holes before plastering
A well-prepared base ensures a smooth finish
Use the Right Tools and Materials
A skilled plasterer or renderer relies on high-quality tools and the correct materials for the job. From mixing buckets and trowels to straight edges and floats, each tool plays a role in achieving a clean, professional finish. The type of plaster or render also matters — interior plaster differs from external render, and using the wrong product can compromise results. Investing in proper tools and materials not only makes the work easier but also ensures durability and a better final appearance.
Choose materials suited to the environment
Use stainless steel trowels for smooth application
Keep tools clean to avoid imperfections
Select the right plaster or render for the job
Quality tools and products equal quality results
Mix Plaster and Render Correctly
The consistency of plaster or render is key to its performance. If the mix is too thick, it becomes difficult to spread and may dry unevenly. If it is too thin, it may not adhere properly, leading to cracks or sagging. Following manufacturer instructions carefully is vital, as different products require specific water-to-material ratios. Professional plasterers take the time to mix thoroughly and achieve a lump-free consistency, which helps ensure a smooth application and lasting results.
Follow manufacturer guidelines for mixing
Achieve the correct water-to-material ratio
Mix until smooth and lump-free
Avoid making mixes too thick or too runny
Proper mixing ensures strong, lasting finishes
Apply in Thin, Even Layers
Trying to apply plaster or render too thickly in one go often leads to cracking, uneven drying, or poor adhesion. The best approach is to build up surfaces with thin, even layers. This method allows each coat to bond properly and ensures a smoother overall finish. For render, a scratch coat followed by one or two top coats is common practice. Patience and precision in applying each layer make all the difference between a rough, uneven job and a flawless surface.
Apply multiple thin coats rather than one thick layer
Allow each layer to set before adding the next
Use even pressure when trowelling
Build up strength and durability gradually
Thin layers create a smoother, more attractive finish
Maintain the Right Working Conditions
Plastering and rendering require controlled conditions to dry properly. If it’s too hot, plaster can dry out too quickly, leading to cracks. If it’s too cold or damp, it may not set correctly. Professional plasterers monitor temperature, humidity, and airflow to create the ideal environment. Indoors, windows should be opened for ventilation, while outdoors, rendering may need to be delayed during extreme weather. Correct working conditions protect the quality of the finish and extend its lifespan.
Avoid plastering in very hot or cold weather
Maintain consistent airflow indoors
Prevent surfaces drying too quickly
Delay rendering during rain or frost
Correct conditions ensure a durable finish
Work Efficiently but Don’t Rush
Timing is crucial in plastering and rendering. Once mixed, materials begin to set, so efficiency is important. However, rushing often leads to mistakes such as uneven surfaces or missed areas. A skilled plasterer works at a steady pace, applying each layer carefully while keeping to the required timelines. Balancing speed and precision ensures a smooth finish that is both attractive and long-lasting.
Work steadily to avoid errors
Be aware of material setting times
Plan the project before mixing plaster
Apply each section methodically
Balance efficiency with attention to detail
Use Correct Trowelling Techniques
Trowelling is an art, and mastering the technique is key to achieving a flawless finish. The angle of the trowel, the pressure applied, and the timing of passes all influence the outcome. A professional plasterer uses a firm but controlled motion, ensuring even coverage without dragging or gouging the surface. Multiple passes at the right time help compact the plaster or render, creating strength and smoothness.
Hold the trowel at the correct angle
Apply even pressure across the surface
Avoid dragging or gouging with the edge
Compact material with multiple passes
Proper technique ensures consistency
Allow Adequate Drying and Curing Time
One of the most common mistakes in plastering and rendering is rushing the drying process. Surfaces must be allowed to dry and cure properly before painting or applying further finishes. Plaster typically takes several days to dry fully, while external render may take longer depending on conditions. Trying to decorate too soon can trap moisture, cause peeling paint, or lead to cracking. Patience during the drying stage protects the quality and durability of the work.
Do not paint plaster until it is fully dry
Rendering requires longer curing times
Drying time varies with weather and thickness
Rushing leads to cracks and peeling
Proper curing ensures long-term durability
Prioritise Safety at All Times
Plastering and rendering involve tools, ladders, and sometimes hazardous materials, making safety a priority. Wearing protective equipment such as gloves, goggles, and masks helps prevent injuries. Safe working practices are especially important when handling heavy materials or working at height. A professional plasterer not only protects themselves but also ensures the safety of clients and property by maintaining a tidy and hazard-free workspace.
Wear gloves, goggles, and masks as needed
Use ladders and scaffolding safely
Handle materials with care
Keep the workspace clean and hazard-free
Safety protects both tradesmen and clients
Hire a Professional Plasterer for Best Results
While small DIY jobs are possible, plastering and rendering are trades that require skill and experience to achieve the highest standards. Hiring a qualified plasterer ensures surfaces are prepared correctly, materials are applied professionally, and the finish is flawless. Professionals also work more efficiently, complete jobs on time, and guarantee durability. Investing in a skilled plasterer may cost more upfront but saves time, stress, and potential repair costs in the long run.
Professionals deliver a flawless, smooth finish
Experience ensures correct preparation and application
Jobs completed faster and more efficiently
Work guaranteed for safety and durability
Investment saves time, money, and stress later
