House Rendering Cost 2024

Rendering your home is a fantastic way to enhance its appearance while providing waterproof protection for your walls. However, finding the right tradespeople and obtaining quotes can feel overwhelming. We recommend getting at least three quotes for comparison. As a rough estimate, for a typical three-bedroom house in the Leeds area, you can expect to pay between £4,000 and £6,000 plus VAT.

When selecting a quote, don’t just go for the lowest price. Take the time to research the companies or tradespeople you’re considering. Look them up on trust and review websites, read their social media feedback, and check Google reviews. Asking for recommendations from your network on social media can also be very helpful. Additionally, ensure that they are accredited by any relevant governing bodies.

Types of Rendering Available

The type of render you choose can significantly impact the overall cost, so it’s worth doing some research to ensure you get the best value for your money. Consider factors like the material the render will be applied to, the dampness of the area, and exposure to weather elements such as wind, rain, and sun.

Polymer & Acrylic Render

Acrylic Render: This type contains acrylic aggregates and is available in a wide range of colors and textures. It can be applied over new or existing render, creating a substrate layer that enhances the exterior look of your home. Designed to prevent cracking, it incorporates reinforcing fibers and provides a tough, attractive finish.

Polymer Render: A cement-based system enhanced with polymers, nylon, and silicones, polymer render is both strong and flexible. It offers excellent weather resistance and waterproofing, and comes in various colors and finishes, including options for pebble dashing.
Monocouche

Monocouche is a single-layer render that comes pre-coloured according to your choice. It only requires mixing with water, and once prepared, it’s applied using a spray or trowel to a depth of about 15mm. This type offers lower labor costs and results in a more durable surface compared to traditional cement render.
Cement Render

Cement rendering is the traditional method for finishing homes and commercial properties. While it is generally cheaper than the other options, the labor costs can rise as it typically requires two or three coats. Be mindful that cement render may crack due to structural movement or weather conditions and will need some maintenance.

How Long Will Rendering My Property Take?

For a standard three-bedroom home, the rendering process usually takes between three to six weeks. However, various factors can influence the timeline, including the number of tradespeople working on the project, the type of rendering system used, weather conditions, and any unexpected issues that may arise.
