How much does external rendering cost?
Thinking of buying a house project. Does anyone know what I should budget per square metre to render and paint the outside of the property. I was thinkiing around £30 but I cant find anything online.
What are the pittfalls of external rendering, any things to think about... etc. Thanks for the input. Grant |
Re: How much does external rendering cost?
bout £30 sounds about right id say, the only down side of render is resale (is it hiding anything)

If its a red brick house in the middle of a terrace, then people might wonder why its been rendered. Ive got a spons guide at home, I'll have a look when I get home. *added edit* A lot will depend on the condition of the wall and how much preparation are needed though but I'll be able to get a rough price for you (good enough for me to be able to price jobs up by ;) ) |

Your best bet is a colour through render - not a render then paint.
Dont forget to include for beading reveals, corners and other bits and pieces, otherwise it will not work properly. Regards Alex |

when we get Contactors costs for jobs they usually budget about £25-30 per meter squared for K-Rend.
Only problem is its hard to colour match on repairs. |
Re: How much does external rendering cost?
Thanks for the useful comments. Brickwork is in really good nick actually so no repairs. I just dont like the colour as its one of the 70s detached builds wich tried to go with the in colour of its time. Horrible I think and I am sure why its putting the house off from selling. It needs some extending so I am thinking to save money on brickwork, extend it and render all of it the same....

Oh, one other thing, if you extend, using blcokwork.. Double check you can render onto the block, it was a while ago, but some blocks split when rendered, due to the moisture absorption by the render from the block.

Are the rest of the houses in the area still red brick or are they rendered too?
Theres nothing worse than one house standing out in the middle of a street thats been rendered or even worse stone cladded! |
