Hello all! what sort of price range am i looking at to render this, ill end up nocking it off as alot of blown loose on the lower extension part. Just want to get an idea on a price before waiting someone time coming to quote in this climate. It maybe too small for some people being busy, so...

Cheers Will foam it again like I did with last lot, I was looking at battens as quick easy and easier to make level. I have looked but keep reading horror stories of damp with cavity wall insulation, I know it's only a small number so I could possibly look into it Thanks
