Rendering in Watford and Hertfordshire
External and internal rendering across Watford, Hertfordshire and NW London. Sand and cement, K-Rend, pebble dash. 20 years experience.
PRA Plastering provides external and internal rendering across Watford, Hertfordshire and North West London. Roger specifies K-Rend for weatherproof exterior finishes and uses traditional sand and cement rendering where the job calls for it.
Over 20 years of rendering experience across hundreds of properties in the area. K-Rend is a polymer-modified render applied in a single coat — weatherproof, flexible, and available in a wide range of colours. It carries a manufacturer guarantee and outperforms traditional render in durability.
Sand and cement render is the right choice where durability and cost-effectiveness are the priority — particularly on outbuildings, garages, extensions, and properties where the existing masonry is in variable condition.
What to Expect
- Substrate inspection — checking for loose pointing, water ingress, or failed existing render
- Surface prepared and bonding agent applied where required
- For K-Rend: single coat applied to manufacturer specification
- For sand and cement: scratch coat applied and keyed, float coat applied once cured
- Finished to smooth, textured, or ruled profile as agreed
- Expansion joints cut where required to control cracking

What is K-Rend and why does Roger use it?
K-Rend is a polymer-modified through-coloured render system applied in a single coat. Roger specifies it because it is weatherproof, low maintenance, and the factory-mixed colour means it does not need painting after application.
How long does external rendering last?
Well-applied sand and cement render lasts 20 to 30 years. K-Rend carries a manufacturer guarantee and typically outlasts traditional render when applied correctly by an experienced tradesman.
