Rendering in Tipperary
62,056 households live in Tipperary, in Clonmel, Nenagh, Thurles and Carrick-on-Suir and out in the country. Requests from anywhere in the county go to one rendering contractor who covers all of it.
59% of homes here are detached, against 41% across Ireland. A detached house has four walls to do and scaffold all round, so the usual job here is €7,000–€16,000 for a two-storey house and €5,000–€8,000 for a bungalow.
47% of homes in Tipperary were built before 1981, and 12% before 1919. Older houses are where most re-rendering is: dash or render that's cracked, stained or hollow. The oldest, of stone or soft brick with no cavity, need lime render, not cement.
25% were built between 2001 and 2010, many with a painted sand and cement render that's now 15 to 25 years old. Re-rendering in a through-coloured silicone ends the repainting. 227 one-off houses were finished in Tipperary in 2025: new block walls are where monocouche does the whole job in one coat.
Clonmel gets about 1,032 mm of rain a year. The driest stretch is April to June, about 70 mm a month, and the wettest month is November at about 113 mm. Render needs dry days above 5 °C to cure, so outside work here is best booked for late spring and summer.
Planning in Tipperary is decided by Tipperary County Council. Re-rendering in a finish that suits the house and the street is usually exempted development; a protected structure or a striking change of look needs the council's view first.
