How much does external rendering cost per square metre?

External rendering typically costs between £40 and £80 per square metre depending on the render system and finish chosen. Silicone and K-Rend systems are at the higher end due to their superior durability and self-cleaning properties. We provide free site surveys and detailed quotes with no obligation.

What is the difference between silicone render and K-Rend?

Both are through-coloured render systems that do not need painting. Silicone render is highly flexible and self-cleaning, making it excellent for exposed properties. K-Rend is a silicone-enhanced monocouche render with a wide colour range and a 25-year expected lifespan. We can advise which system suits your property best during a free survey.

How long does it take to render a house?

An average 3-bedroom semi-detached house typically takes 5 to 7 working days to complete, weather permitting. Larger detached properties may take 7 to 10 days. We always provide a detailed timeline before work begins.

Will rendering improve my home insulation and energy efficiency?

Yes, especially when combined with an external wall insulation (EWI) system. EWI can reduce heat loss through walls by up to 45%, significantly lowering your heating bills and improving your property EPC rating. Even standard rendering provides a modest improvement in thermal performance.

Common questions

Straight answers, no jargon

Thinking about rendering your home? Here are the questions we hear most — and our honest answers.

Ask Andy a question

How much does rendering cost in Leeds?

It depends on the size of your home, the render system and how many sides you're doing. We survey your home in person and give you an exact written quote with no hidden costs — so you know the price before you commit. Modern render also saves the ongoing cost of repainting every few years.

Will the render crack?

Modern silicone render is flexible — it moves with your walls rather than cracking. K Rend and Weber systems are specifically designed to resist cracking. We can't guarantee against major structural movement, but we guarantee our application in writing.

How long will it last?

Silicone render systems are designed for a 25-year service life when applied properly. We'll explain the specific manufacturer-backed warranty available for your installation.

How long does the work take?

A typical 3-bed semi takes around 5–7 working days. Larger homes or external wall insulation projects take roughly 2–3 weeks. You'll have a clear timeline before we start.

Will it be messy?

We clean up every day, and when the scaffolding comes down you won't know we were there. We're considerate of you and your neighbours throughout.

How do I know you're reliable?

We've rendered Leeds homes for over 20 years, every job is overseen by Andy personally, and we put everything in writing. Check our 5.0★ Google reviews — and we're happy to provide references.

Can't I just paint the walls instead?

Painting lasts a few years; a silicone render system protects your walls and stays looking good for decades with no repainting. Over time it works out better value — and it protects your home, rather than just covering it.
