Render on external walls - advice needed!!

[Alexsav]

Hi There,

I had the outside of my house rendered earlier this year and I havent got round to painting or doing anything to it.. It is totally completed but we are concentrating on other work at the moment. What I wanted to know was, will it be okay for the winter, or do you have to prime it or paint it etc to help against the weather, ie should that be next on my list, or can I leave it if I dont get a chance and paint it when I have to paint the rest of the house next year??

Any help much appreciated.

Cheers.

You will be fine render isnt really designed to be painted its just what people do to make it look nice so dont worry.
