Rendering..How much

[philipdayton]

Hi, I live in a 1930's semi.
The external walls are rendered.
There are some cracks in the render and parts are lifting and causing some penetrating damp issues.
Approximately how much would you say it would cost to have render replaced.
Any help appreciated

Thanks

Ok so it's a bit of an open question!!!!

Approx £££ per sq metre or £££ per day???

A bit of an open question? Maybe - who knows. What I can tell you though is that you need to have a little patience.

Your original post was only an hour and fifteen miutes before you followed it up and most of the guys who will be in a position to answer your question will be out on jobs throughout the day and may not see your message until later.

Not having a go mate, just a friendly word to let you know that people here are friendly and helpful but they do work and do have lives to lead too so responses may not be as instant as you'd like.

expect prices to start at around £3000.

Fair point Fred, apologies!
Just getting agitated as i've just spent the last 3 months gutting and renovating my lounge/dining room only to have my wife just ring me at work to tell me we have big brown stains coming through the wall above the window.... GREAT... £3k, are you serious?

 

[noseall]

deadly.

 

[philipdayton]

WOW!
Is that for a 'standard' job or using expensive materials?
Don't mean to be at all funny but how does that break down into materials/labour?

 

[noseall]

scaffolding, £600.

labour for a 2&1 gang for 4 days, £1800.

1.5 tonne plastering sand, bell beads, corner beads, hydrated lime, plasticiser, waterproofer, sponges, masking etc, £250.

skip, £100.

mixer hire, hilti hire, transformer and leads, £80

plus a bit of profit

As with all prices, please see forum rule 9

Have to disagree with Noseall.

I re rendered my house last year (smooth not dashed) and it took 2 tonne's of sand.

So i would say £3025

always better to have a little too much sand than not enough

arf, arf.

Staggered at the prices quoted, my 1920's semi needed fully re-rendering and I only managed to get one quote of under 10K. That was for a terylene finish not the fancy colour through stuff that I really wanted.

DIY it is then!

I had a nice coloured terylene shirt in the 70`s
