Repair cracked render and refinish, £4k

KG1975

The render on the front elevation of my house is cracked, especially along the top where the coping stones are weathered.

I have been quoted just over £4k inc VAT for the following works:

• Chase out large cracks, and entire area below coping stones.
• Re-render with 2 coats of Ecorend, reinforcement mesh in 1st coat.
• Apply Tyrolean finish to entire existing render, blended in to look the same, colour to decide.
• Cap coping stones in lead.
• Includes labour, material, waste removal, scaffold.

Does that sound reasonable? I am in Bristol.

I'd be grateful for any advice or thoughts.

Sounds like a total waste of money to me…....my render cracks occasionally. Every few years I spend around £10 on a tube of flexible external filler, fill the cracks and give it a coat of Sandtex. Chances are, after you've spent £4K the render will crack again, there or somewhere else.
