You haven't specified what type of render your having if you want to save money you could take all the old render off yourself

hi.its new type of render not traditional sand and cement one.it comes ready just add clean water.top coat comes in drums.
yes you are wright i could take the old one off myself but then not many companies are willing to do the rest.the probabaley make mony on labour and scaffolding and skip etc.

1st time I've heard of render that comes drums but any of the synthetic renders are a lot more pricey than s&c as al said get some more quotes
