How much does house rendering cost?
As a rough guide, rendering usually falls around £45-£90 per square metre of wall. Where you land within that range depends mainly on the render system you choose and how much preparation your walls need. A simple traditional finish on sound walls sits toward the lower end, while a premium silicone finish on walls needing repair sits higher. Remember these are guide figures only - the reliable way to know your cost is a free site visit, where we measure up, discuss finishes and give you a clear written price.

What affects house rendering cost?
Several practical factors move the final figure, and understanding them helps you compare quotes fairly:
- Wall area, since more square metres means more material and labour
- The render type, with silicone typically costing more than monocouche or traditional, in return for its flexibility, crack resistance and self-cleaning finish
- The condition of your walls, and whether old render must be removed or repairs made first
- Access, because scaffolding and awkward or high walls add time and cost
- The amount of detailing around windows, doors and features
- Whether rendering is combined with insulation, which changes the scope and price
A clear quote lists what is included, so you are comparing like with like rather than headline prices alone.
Silicone, monocouche or traditional - which costs more?
Render type is one of the biggest cost factors. Traditional sand and cement render is usually the most budget-friendly to apply, though it needs painting afterwards and repainting over time. Monocouche is a through-coloured one-coat system that removes the need for painting and sits in the middle on price. Silicone render is generally the priciest of the three, but it is flexible, crack-resistant and self-cleaning, so it stays looking fresh with the least upkeep, which many homeowners feel is worth the extra.
We will help you weigh up the look, the maintenance and the cost so you choose the finish that is right for you. You can read more about each option on our rendering services page.

How much does it cost to render a whole house?
It depends on the size of the property and the finish, but using a guide of around £45 to £90 per square metre, a whole house adds up according to its total wall area and the preparation needed. A larger home or a premium silicone finish costs more. A free site visit gives you an accurate, tailored figure.
Why is silicone render more expensive?
Silicone render costs more because of the quality of the material and its performance. It is flexible and crack-resistant, sheds water and has self-cleaning properties, so it keeps its looks with very little maintenance and typically lasts well. Many homeowners feel the lower upkeep and longer-lasting finish justify the higher upfront price.
Does the price include removing old render?
It can, but it depends on the state of your walls. If existing render must come off, that adds labour and disposal to the job, which is reflected in the quote. We will assess this on our visit and set it out clearly, so there are no surprises once work begins.
Is the guide price my final cost?
No. The £45 to £90 per square metre range is a guide to help you plan. Your final cost comes after a free site visit, where we measure and assess your home, so it reflects your actual walls, chosen finish and access.
