Which options suit homes in Wolverhampton?

Through-coloured render (K Rend type)

Single-coat or two-coat renders coloured through their whole depth, sprayed or trowelled and then scraped to a textured finish. Brands such as K Rend are widely used on new and existing homes. They don't need painting and hide small marks well, though they're best on walls with consistent backgrounds.

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.

What does your render cost in Wolverhampton?

Expect to budget between £40 and £160 per m² in Wolverhampton. Silicone render with base coat and mesh over sound brickwork, including beads: typically £70–£100 per m².

Your questions answered

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.

Do you cover the whole of Wolverhampton?

Yes — we cover Wolverhampton from our West Bromwich base, including Dudley, Sandwell and Walsall. Call 0800 088 6248 or send the form on this page to book a free survey.

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.

Will I need permission from the council in Wolverhampton?

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