Ensuring that all guard and other rails are firmly put in place and surface is prepared correctly before cement rendering is part of the job of the renderer. Especially the surface should be dirt, and dust free and also free of animal feces as well as plant materials.

Once all these is ensured the renderer will apply the render on the surface using steel float and the render should also be smoothed out as the work progresses.
