Rendering in United Kingdom ranges from £10/m² for basic texture coat to £160/m² for a full render and insulation combo system. Prices per m² include VAT. Standard external wall rendering. Scaffolding typically charged separately at £600–£2,000+ per project.
The most common types in United Kingdom are cement render, acrylic render, texture coat, lime render, silicone render, and render repair. Each has different cost, performance, and application characteristics depending on substrate type and climate.
Silicone and polymer renders perform best in the UK's wet climate, offering self-cleaning properties and superior weather resistance. Lime render is essential for older solid-wall or listed buildings. Standard cement render is the most affordable but requires maintenance.
A full single-storey house render typically takes 3–5 working days. A double-storey home takes 5–8 days including drying time between coats. Small repair patches can be completed in a single day. EIFS and insulation combo systems take longer due to the additional layers and curing requirements.
