Hi, I wonder if anyone can give guidance on whether a cost for rendering the back of my house is reasonable...
I have just had a quote for £5300 to re-render the back of the house. It is a Victorian terrace in the Stoke area of Plymouth.
The details of the wall (~3.5 storeys high) are:
~100 square metres, including the windows, which are:
3 x big windows (1m x 1.9 m)
2 x bay windows (each comprising 3 windows in a wooden bay frame, with an opening in the wall of about 1.8m x 1.8m)
There is also a door downstairs.
The quote included:
Hacking off and disposing of all the old paint/render/etc.
Wiring the underneath the bay windows (they are a wooden frame and will have WBP ply put on the outside)
3 coats of render
Stainless steel corner bits (can't remember hat he called them)
Block lining (using a very old tool he has)
Replacing the main 110mm waste pipe, which is ~10.5 m long
So, is £5,300 reasonable for the above, or am I being overcharged (or better, undercharged!)?
Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer!
