Hi all. I'm doing a self build in Gloucestershire and rendering is the next job. The build is SIPS and I plan on doing as much as I can myself but there are jobs that I would prefer to leave to professionals and rendering is one. I will be battening and boarding but am delaying doing this til I know which render system will be used so that boards are compatible. The render is to the bottom 2.3m and access is no issue.
I've had two local specialists come to price the job up. I haven't been sent a quote by one, despite chasing him a couple of times and the other one seemed pretty disinterested.
I'm interested in knowing what system you'd recommend and any general advice. I'm looking for a good quality job rather than whoever comes out cheapest. If someone is able to give me some idea of rough m2 price, that would be very helpful. TIA

ensure the renderboard is cement based not mgo.
our preference is gypsotech renderboard and jub thincoat render

every renderer will have their own preference

Thanks. Yeah I know evert renderer has their own preferences of products. So I need to know who will be doing it and what system they use before boarding as I want to be sure the boards are compatible with the render.

No one can quote without seeing the area to be rendered and your boarding. The agreed payment time. The area of m2 to render .

I get that but I'm struggling to find anyone to even give me a quote and I'm trying to get a vague idea of what is realistic. Is £50-£70 in the right ball park or £150-£170? The total area is 50m2

There must be a reason that two firms aren't keen on your job, are you being a bit economical with the truth?
 
Literally, exactly as I've told it. Have since left a message with another guy who was recommended and a week on, still hasn't phoned back. I can't for the life of me see the issue. Maybe it's the norm here. I had similar difficulty getting a ground worker.
