Renderlook are specialists in architectural mouldings. With over 20 years in the trade, we design, manufacture and install the trims, bands, architraves, sills, parapets, quoins, columns and dentils that frame and define a building's façade. Our mouldings are made in Sydney around a dense, premium-grade polystyrene core and finished with multiple coats of our own render coating and a sand texture, so that once installed they read as solid, traditionally rendered masonry.
We work across French Provincial, Victorian, Art Deco, Federation and Modern Classic designs, producing everything from straight bands through to highly intricate custom profiles for builders, architects, designers and homeowners. We are more than a supplier — our own tradespeople attend site and carry out the installation, jointing, rendering and finishing work that turns a delivered profile into a finished façade.
We are looking for an experienced Renderer / Solid Plasterer to join our on-site installation team.
Core responsibility
Install architectural mouldings to building façades and apply, joint and texture-finish cement render so that installed profiles integrate seamlessly with the surrounding rendered surfaces.
