gravelld Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 I realise this is a big of a "how long is a piece of string" style question but... Getting quotes in for re-rendering, I know expected m2 prices but I was wondering how much a m2 price would be for removing existing render? In this case it's pretty bad - popped on several elevations, but then stuck fast on some others. For anyone who prices this work, what sort of price per m2 do you offer? Trying to work out whether I should do it myself, it doesn't seem too skilled a job (shout me down if I'm wrong). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfb Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 definitely the sort of thing you can do yourself or get a labourer to do. get a decent (not too heavy) drill with chisel and have a go - you might find some of it comes off pretty easy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brickie Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 A lot depends on a/the background & b/the type & condition of the render. Poorly applied s/c render on concrete blocks may come off a dream-well applied lime render on bricks might be an absolute PITA. Really not a job where a catch all m2 price can be applied,IMO.

BTW, it's a mixture of brick and block. Mostly block. Edited August 13, 2018 by gravelld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brickie Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Concrete or aerated? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravelld Posted August 13, 2018 Author Share Posted August 13, 2018 Don't know - 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s if that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some pictures would help with a price Quite Quik to clean off if there is a fixed scaf Slow moving towers You may find that the top coat comes off ok and the scratch coat won’t shift If that’s the case the new scratch coat can go over the old But a few pics would help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravelld Posted August 13, 2018 Author Share Posted August 13, 2018 (edited) Yeah, scaffolding will be provided as part of the wider project. What are you looking for in the pictures? Here are some drawings of where the render currently is. About 220m2 plus window reveals. Edited August 13, 2018 by gravelld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nod Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 If it’s fully scaffolded you would be looking at about £5 per mtr with some areas difficult to shift others easy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravelld Posted August 13, 2018 Author Share Posted August 13, 2018 Great, that's a fantastic approximate price in my head, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nod Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 I’d normally not look to make much on something like this id alow a week for two labourers to knock it off and spray a sealer on it prior to scratch coating It can rack up if you start paying a day rate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
