Is planning needed for rendering?

Re: How much does external rendering cost?
 

It all depends on where you are.

Some planners are really odd about things.

A friend is extending his house in wiltshire and hes not allowed to follow the ridgeline through the roof.
Hes allowed to build but has to drop the ridgeline on the new roof by 12 inches so you can see its been added on as an extention:confused:

Weird.

I guess it just depends on whos on planning planning at the time.

My Dad was head of planning back home where there was a guy who had been on planning for about 12 years and asked dad what the difference between a pitched roof and a mono pitched roof was.
The guy had been making un-educated decisions for years.

I mean the miss matching of cladding on a street, least down here they wouldnt let you do stuuf like that.

depends on the situation, size of the extension.

had the rear of our house rendered, I think it cost around £400 its 2 story about 7.5long with a couple of large windows. That was a good price compeared to some of the quotes purely becuase the guy owned his own scaffold.

I've since built my workshop and did the render on that myself, quotes were coming in around the £1000 mark. it ended up that it cost me £80 for about 20bags of K-Rend from some bloke on ebay. I went for the textured finsih and its pre-coloured so no painting required. Its a PITA of a job but did the whole thing was done in a weekend and obviously there was a MASSSSIIVIEE saving its not the most pro finish cos I didnt know I had to smooth it with a sponge (muppet) but cos its the textured stuff I recon I got away with it.

Oh an I previously had zero experiance of either render or plaster. Other than building the workshop I'd never even used a trowell before.

For the record thats rendered straight onto the block work also (altho a PVA layer was highly reccomended).
