Typical Scaffold Setup
Rendering and repointing require fully boarded scaffolding at every lift — typically 2 or 3 lifts for a standard 2-storey house. This means more boards, more fittings, and more labour compared to a simple roof access scaffold. If you're rendering the full house, you'll need scaffold on all 4 sides (a full wrap). For a semi-detached house, 3 sides is standard. The scaffold also needs to be set slightly further from the wall than a standard scaffold to give renderers room to work. Debris netting is often required to prevent render splatter on neighbouring properties.
How Much Does It Cost?
Scaffolding for rendering a single elevation of a 2-storey house costs £500–£800 for a 4-week hire. A 3-sided scaffold for a semi-detached house runs £1,000–£1,600. A full wrap on a detached house costs £1,800–£3,000. Prices are higher than standard scaffolding because every lift needs to be fully boarded. If you're adding external wall insulation (EWI) before rendering, you may need the scaffold for 6–8 weeks — factor in extension costs of £80–£150 per week.
