What this work involves
We provide external rendering as a core part of our plastering work. We would rather explain the options than quote a single fixed approach that may not suit the building.
External Rendering in Leicester
We take on external rendering work in Leicester and the wider Leicestershire area. Surrounding parts of Leicestershire are covered on the same terms.
Preparation and process
Preparation decides how the finish behaves, so it gets proper time rather than being rushed.
Local considerations
ONS Census 2021 Built-Up Areas (2021). BUA code E63002622. Size classification: Major. Population 406580 is the 2021 Census figure, not a current estimate. Region code E12000004. Leicester had a recorded population of about 406,580 according to ONS Census 2021 Built-Up Areas (2021 Census), which gives a sense of the housing mix rather than anything about your specific property. As a city, Leicester has a mix of building ages, and older walls behave differently to newer plasterboard.

Common questions
Do you cover Leicester?
Yes. Leicester and the surrounding Leicestershire area is within our working area for external rendering. We confirm timing when you enquire.
How much does external rendering cost?
We do not publish a fixed price, because cost depends on the size of the area, the condition of the existing surface, access and the finish you want. We give a written quote after assessing the job rather than an estimate that changes later.
Do I need to move out or clear the room?
For most jobs the room needs to be clear of furniture and floor coverings protected. We will tell you exactly what to move before we arrive.
How long does the work take?
It depends on the area and how much preparation is needed, and drying time between coats cannot be shortened safely. We give a realistic timescale with the quote instead of a generic figure.
How we work
Our approach is straightforward: assess the surface, explain the options and their trade-offs, put the price in writing, and keep to what was agreed.
What to expect
The process is the same regardless of the size of the job: assess the surface, explain what needs doing and why, then put the price in writing. Nothing starts until you have seen the quote and agreed to it.
What good work looks like
Good external rendering work is about more than the visible surface. The bond between the base coat and the substrate, the flatness of the finish, and the consistency of the mix all affect how the surface behaves over time. A finish that looks correct on day one can still fail if the preparation was inadequate, which is why the early stages of the job get as much attention as the final coat.
Choosing the right approach
A external rendering job is not a one-size-fits-all process. The substrate, the building age, the exposure, and the desired finish all determine the method and the materials. We look at what is actually there and recommend the approach that suits the building, rather than defaulting to the same method regardless of the conditions we find.
