Expected cost of thin coat exterior render system

[Pete]

Just interested to see what people have paid for their exterior render as some quotes seem extortionate. Our system will be a thin coat fully embedded mesh onto a render board. TIA

[ProDave]

Our whole house and garage:

 

Materials £4000 including the mesh and all the corner beads.

Labour £4750

 

That was the Baumit.com render system applied to wood fibre external insulation board.

There are a couple of excellent blog posts about this.

 

The one I remember was @Stones, which includes some cost information.

How many square metres was this please Dave?

We paid approx £100 / m2 which includes some large flat areas, cills, beads and expansion gap. Labour and materials but excluding battens on which to mount the board. Sto flexible render system.

I never worked it out. 150 square metre house, 1.5 storey, room in roof upstairs plus garage, all rendered.

Don’t go too cheap

I've been doing these type of render systems for over thirty years

We are not particularly expensive 

But have been undercut by as much as 50 % on some jobs

Dave is very near the mark with a £100 per sq mtr

you're going to be looking at it for a long time

 

This is the house that I’m self building. Two of us, four and half days applying two coats of k rend 

300 bags Last March
