WHY CHOOSE US
Fully Approved Applicators of Leading Rendering Systems
GreenCork Ltd carries out rendering and SprayCork work across Alwoodley, including the residential areas around King Lane, Nursery Lane and the streets bordering Eccup Reservoir. The area is known for its larger detached and semi-detached homes, many built post-war, often with a mix of facing brickwork and later rendered extensions.
These properties frequently have exposed elevations, gable walls and conservatories, which can be more affected by weather exposure and temperature changes. SprayCork can be applied to both brick and existing render, helping to protect surfaces while maintaining breathability. It is also commonly used on conservatory roofs to help reduce overheating and improve comfort.
Where extensions have been added over time, different materials can weather at different rates. We assess these areas during the survey to ensure a consistent and long-lasting finish across all elevations.
Every project begins with a free site visit, where we inspect the property and provide a clear, itemised quote with no hidden costs. We also cover nearby areas including Alwoodley LS17, Shadwell LS17, Moortown LS17, Roundhay LS8 and surrounding parts of North Leeds.

CorkSol Approved Applicators
Why SprayCork is a Smarter Choice for Wall Rendering
Traditional render can crack, and painted finishes often require ongoing upkeep. SprayCork offers a modern alternative that protects, insulates and refreshes your walls in one system.
Flexible and Crack Resistant
Designed to move with the building as temperatures change, helping to reduce cracking caused by movement or thermal stress.
Applied Over Existing Renders
Can be applied directly onto sound brick, render, stone or concrete, avoiding the need for full removal and reducing disruption.
Thermal and Acoustic Performance
Helps retain warmth during colder months, reduce heat gain in summer, and limit external noise for a more comfortable living space.
Weather-Resistant Protection
Water-repellent surface helps protect against rain, frost and UV exposure, supporting long-term wall protection.
Natural & Eco-Friendly
Made using cork, a renewable material harvested without damaging trees, combined with a water-based binder.
28 Colour Options
Available in a wide range of colours, with pigment built into the coating so it will not peel or require repainting over time.

What rendering and wall coating services does GreenCork offer in Alwoodley?
GreenCork carries out the following services in Alwoodley and across the LS17 postcode: external SprayCork wall coating, external wall insulation (EWI), internal spray cork for cold and damp walls, conservatory roof coatings, asbestos encapsulation, silicone rendering, monocouche rendering, render repair, and pebbledash removal and re-rendering. Services are available for both residential and commercial properties throughout Alwoodley, Shadwell, Moortown, Wigton Moor and surrounding LS17 areas.
Is spray cork suitable for Alwoodley’s large 1930s and post-war brick properties?
Yes. The larger detached and semi-detached homes common across Alwoodley, particularly those built between the 1930s and 1960s around Wigton Lane, King Lane and Alwoodley Gates, are well suited to external SprayCork. Many of these properties have solid brick walls with limited or no cavity insulation, and their larger wall areas mean heat loss can be more noticeable than in smaller homes. SprayCork applied externally adds a thermal layer directly to the wall surface. Larger elevations also benefit from its water-repellent, self-cleaning finish, helping keep walls cleaner over time with minimal maintenance.
My front elevation render is cracking at the bay window. Is this common in Alwoodley?
Yes. This is a common issue on 1930s and 1950s properties in the area. Bay windows create a junction between the main wall and the projecting structure, and these sections can move at different rates over time. Traditional sand-and-cement render applied across this junction often cracks as a result. During the survey, GreenCork checks these areas carefully and advises on suitable repair or coating options. Flexible coatings such as SprayCork can help accommodate minor movement and reduce the risk of further cracking.
Can GreenCork treat a rendered extension separately from the brick front elevation?
Yes. Many Alwoodley homes have original brick fronts with rendered side or rear extensions added later. These areas often weather differently and may require attention sooner. GreenCork can treat the extension only, or apply a system across the whole property for a consistent finish, depending on your preference.
Does GreenCork carry out conservatory roof coatings in Alwoodley?
Yes. SprayCork is commonly applied to the underside of polycarbonate or glass conservatory roofs. Many larger homes in LS17 have conservatories that can become too warm in summer and cold in winter. The coating helps reduce heat build-up in warmer months and improve comfort during colder periods. Most applications are completed within a day, with no changes to the external appearance and no planning permission typically required.
