WHY CHOOSE US
Modern Rendering and Cork Insulation
GreenCork Ltd carries out rendering, SprayCork insulation and wall coating work across Roundhay and the LS8 area, including Street Lane, Princes Avenue, Lidgett Lane and the roads surrounding Roundhay Park. The area is known for its larger Victorian and Edwardian homes, often with solid brick walls and later rear or side extensions finished in render.
Many of these extensions were added decades after the original build, meaning the render and brickwork age differently. GreenCork assesses these junctions during the survey to ensure a consistent, long-lasting finish across all surfaces.
Roundhay properties also commonly feature conservatories, particularly with older polycarbonate roofs that overheat in summer. SprayCork applied internally helps regulate temperature and improves usability without altering the exterior.
Due to the size and layout of LS8 homes, projects here often involve larger wall areas and more complex elevations. Every job starts with a free site visit, where all elevations are inspected and a fixed, itemised quote is provided.
25 Year Warranty
Designed for long-term durability with reduced risk of cracking or peeling.
Lower Costs
Reduced maintenance, fewer repairs and no regular repainting required.

CorkSol Approved Applicators
Why SprayCork is a Practical Choice for Wall Rendering
Traditional render can crack. Paint needs upkeep. SprayCork is designed to do both jobs in one system — with added performance.
Flexible and Crack-Resistant
An elastomeric coating that accommodates building movement and bridges cracks up to 3mm, reducing the risk of failure over time.
Applied Over Existing Surfaces
Installed directly onto sound brick, render, stone or concrete, avoiding full removal and reducing disruption.
Breathable and Moisture Managing
Allows moisture within the wall to escape while helping to prevent condensation building up on the surface.
Weather Resistant
Provides year-round protection against rain, frost and sun exposure, helping to preserve the condition of external walls.
No Repainting Required
Colour is built into the coating itself, so there is no peeling, fading or need for regular repainting.
Clean, Consistent Finish
Creates a uniform appearance across different surfaces, including brick, render and extensions.

Can SprayCork be applied to brick on the front and render on the rear of the same property?
Yes. SprayCork bonds to brick, existing render, stone and concrete, which means it can be applied across mixed surface types on the same property in a single visit. Many Roundhay properties have original brick on the front elevation and rendered masonry on a later rear or side extension, SprayCork applied to the rendered section alone gives a consistent finish without requiring the brick to be treated.
Does GreenCork carry out asbestos encapsulation in Roundhay?
Yes. CorkSol SprayCork is independently certified for application over intact asbestos-containing materials. The coating forms a protective barrier that prevents fibres from becoming airborne — removing the need for costly and disruptive removal. It is suitable for corrugated roofing sheets on outbuildings and garages, external cladding panels and ceiling tiles. The system carries a 15-year warranty for encapsulation work.
Can SprayCork be applied internally in Roundhay to fix damp or cold walls?
Yes. Internal spray cork is applied to the interior face of external walls where cold spots, surface condensation or recurring mould are a problem. The product is breathable and vapour-permeable, applied in a thin layer to existing plaster, plasterboard or lime plaster, then skimmed and painted over on completion.
For the larger rooms common in Roundhay’s Victorian and Edwardian properties, internal spray cork on a north-facing external wall can make a measurable difference to both the surface temperature of that wall and the overall comfort of the room. No external scaffold is required and no planning consent is needed in most residential applications.
