[https://www.gov.uk/guidance/housing-statistics-and-england-housing-survey-glossary/a-to-z Housing statistics and English Housing Survey, glossary], published by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities in 2019, defines wall finishes as: ‘The outer layer or skin of the material of the wall structure or any coating applied to it.

It suggests that wall finishes might include:

* Pointed brickwork: The mortar is placed into a masonry joint after the masonry units (e.g. brick, concrete block or stone) have been laid. This creates a finish to the brickwork and adds resistance to weather.
* Rendered finish: The application of, for example, premixed cement or pebbledash. The render may or may not be painted.
* Mixed or other finish: Other types of wall finish include protective and decorative timber, clay or concrete tiles fixed to the wall structure.

Broader definitions might also include internal wall finishes, such as; plaster, dry lining, timber and other panels and so on.
