Rendering in Nuneaton

Planning your render in Nuneaton

This kind of work rarely needs planning permission, but it does have to comply with Building Regulations, and some parts must be certified by a registered installer or signed off by building control. In Nuneaton, building control is provided by Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council or a registered building control approver (formerly an approved inspector).

Downpipes, lights and satellite dishes on Nuneaton homes are removed and refitted around the new render.
Render can't be applied in frost, heavy rain or strong sun, so programmes follow the forecast.
Re-rendering more than 50% of a wall can trigger a requirement to improve its insulation.

Which option fits your home?

Silicone render

A thin-coat render applied over a base coat and mesh, with silicone added so rain beads off and dirt washes away. Silicone render is through-coloured, so it needs no painting, flexes slightly with the wall and lets moisture escape. It costs more than sand and cement but needs far less upkeep.

Insulated render (EWI)

External wall insulation boards fixed to the wall, with mesh, base coat and a silicone or acrylic top coat. It makes solid-walled homes warmer and is the usual way to meet building regulations when re-rendering more than half of an uninsulated wall. It thickens the wall, so window cills, pipes and the roof overhang need detailing.

How much should you budget in Nuneaton?

Guide prices start at £40 and run to £160 per m². Silicone render with base coat and mesh over sound brickwork, including beads: around £70–£100 per m².

Rendering in Nuneaton: common questions

Do I need to repaint render?

Sand and cement render needs painting with masonry paint, and repainting every several years. Silicone and through-coloured renders don't need painting, because the colour runs through the material. They may need an occasional gentle clean, especially on north-facing or shaded walls where algae can grow.

How much does it cost to render a house?

In the West Midlands, rendering typically costs around £40–£65 per m² for painted sand and cement and £65–£100 per m² for silicone or through-coloured render, plus scaffolding. For a three-bed semi with roughly 90–120 m² of wall, that usually means around £6,000–£12,000 for the render, with scaffolding on top. Removing old render or adding insulation increases the cost.

Will I need permission from the council in Nuneaton?

You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Nuneaton is provided by Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
