rendering advice please :)

Hi, we are about to have some work done on hte house and the bricks are that foul 1970's yellow buff .. although many are replacements from work that was done. Also hoping to get oak windows put in in different sizes so we have decided to have the house rendered.

Any advice on what we should look for in a builder? we want it very smooth and clean lined and have no idea of cost at all. Have you had it done and how much was it? did you do it yourself and did you find it cost effective?

Weve been in a couple of years and the house is in DESPERATE need of updating!

Any advice is more than appreciated... particularly that with average quotes in.

Many thanks in advance
Marylou

Very hard to give average quotes. Get a few builders/plasterers from your local area and pick the one that can answer your questions, and do the job for a reasonable cost. The dearest is not always the best, but then nor is the cheapest.
