Questions we get asked

How much does rendering cost in Ireland?

Rendering costs €35–€90 per m² in Ireland, supplied and applied. A 3-bed semi usually comes to €4,000–€10,000, a detached house €7,000–€16,000 and a bungalow €5,000–€8,000.

Which render is best for my house?

For most houses, silicone or monocouche: both carry their colour, so there's no painting. Silicone sheds water and dirt well. Old stone or brick walls built before about 1919 need lime, because cement-based renders trap damp in them.

How long does rendering take?

A one-coat monocouche job is usually 4 to 7 days on site. A base coat with a silicone or acrylic finish takes longer, because the base coat is left about two weeks to cure first. Render shouldn't go on below 5 °C, in rain, or in strong sun and wind.

Do I need planning permission to render my house?

Usually not. Re-rendering is exempted development when it doesn't change how the house looks so much that it's out of character with the house or its neighbours. A protected structure, an architectural conservation area or a big change of look needs the council's view first.
