How much does it cost to render a house in Nottingham? (2026)

Typical rendering costs

Traditional sand-and-cement render, then painted, runs roughly £40–£60 per m² in Nottingham. Modern through-coloured systems like silicone render or K-Rend cost more — around £60–£100 per m² — but don't need repainting and shrug off algae and weather better.

For a typical three-bed semi, full rendering often lands somewhere around £5,000–£10,000 depending on the system, the number of storeys and the amount of scaffolding. A single elevation or a smaller property costs less.

Scaffolding is a real line item on anything above ground-floor height — often several hundred to over a thousand pounds — so it's worth combining rendering with other exterior work while it's up.

What affects the price

The render system — basic sand-and-cement is cheapest up front, while silicone and K-Rend cost more but are lower-maintenance over their life.

The state of the walls: cracked, damp or previously rendered surfaces need stripping back and repairing first, and bare or uneven brick needs more prep before render goes on.

Height and access (how much scaffolding), the number of windows and details to cut around, and whether you're adding insulated render (external wall insulation), which is a bigger, pricier job.

Getting an accurate quote

Ask exactly which render system is quoted, how many coats, whether scaffolding and prep are included, and what the guarantee is — through-coloured systems often come with a manufacturer warranty if fitted by an approved installer.
