Roughcast rendering costs.

[havocthecat]

I have finally gotten around to renovating the outside of my house after 4 years on the inside (still not finished). I was wondering what it costs to Roughcast render 2 sides of my house.(average sized 3 bed semi).
The sides have been done already probably when the house was built 90 years ago and since then doors and windows have been bricked up and I just want to smarten the whole thing up. I'm just looking for a roundabout figure doesn't have to be exact.
Any help would be massively appreciated.

funny this should crop up, i was doing some internal patching at a friends house yesterday who has has cracks in his render on the front of his house that was done last year, the plan was to chase the cracks out and fill at some point, but he had some roof work done by a local builder and while he was fixing his roof he gave him a quote for pebble dashing the front of his house, (top half pebble dash bottom half render) the quote was £250 + 70 for pebbles, beads and that , all in all it came to £320 and he even invited him round his house to have a look at the dashing that he had done round there, the price in the quote even included taking the old render off, and i cant beleive he was trying to weigh up the costs of patching cracks and paint v the pebble dash i told him to snap his hands off and get it done quick as poss b4 he changes his mind, i dont know how anyone can do that kind of work for £320 including materials

He must have been feeling charitable that day.

That price would barely cover the scaffold costs never mind labour and overheads.

well aparentley the scaffolding is £60 for 2 days + he wants £70 for pebbles, that then leaves £200 for the sand cement lime and waterproofer and ss beads, i fail to see how hes making anything

I also may suprise everyone who comes to see the house I want a flat render and I see so much of it done by 'pro's' that looks like the sea.
