What changes the price: condition of the existing wall, height of the room, access, and whether old wallpaper or artex has to come off first.

Rendering cost per m²

Rendering covers the outside of the building. The system you pick is the biggest factor in the rendering cost per m² — sand-and-cement is cheapest, through-coloured systems (silicone, monocouche) are more.

Sand & cement render (2 coats)£40 – £60 / m²

Monocouche / scratch render£55 – £85 / m²

Silicone / silicone-silicate render£70 – £120 / m²

Pebbledash / roughcast£45 – £70 / m²

Render repair / patch (per visit)from £180

Scaffolding is usually extra: budget £400–£900 for a typical semi-detached gable. We arrange and quote it alongside the render.

Patch and repair costs

Small jobs — a cracked ceiling, a damaged corner, knocked-out plug runs after a rewire — are usually priced per visit rather than per m². Half-day visits start around £120 and a full day around £220–£280, materials included.
