What is a Stucco Contractor invoice?

A stucco or render contractor invoice covers work applying external render (stucco) systems to buildings for weatherproofing, thermal improvement, and aesthetic purposes. Render systems range from traditional sand-and-cement render to lime render for heritage buildings, through-colour mineral render, silicone render, and external wall insulation (EWI) systems with a render finish. The choice of render system significantly affects the price, with EWI systems costing 3-5x more than standard render. Render work is typically priced per m² of wall area. Scaffold is usually required and is either included or invoiced separately. Render contractors working on domestic EWI projects may qualify for ECO-funded work, which has specific invoice and documentation requirements.

How to invoice as a stucco contractor

Invoice in phases: scaffold up and substrate preparation, first coat and mesh, topcoat and finish, scaffold away. For EWI systems, reference the system manufacturer and product specification. Apply 5% VAT to the insulation component of EWI systems (qualifying energy-saving materials) and 20% to the rest, or seek specialist VAT advice. ECO-funded projects require specific documentation.

Frequently asked questions

What VAT rate applies to EWI systems?
The insulation material component of an EWI installation may qualify for reduced VAT (5% or 0%) as an energy-saving material. The labour and non-insulation components are standard rated. Seek specialist VAT advice for mixed-rate jobs.
How do I price render work?
Standard sand-and-cement render runs £20-£30/m². Silicone through-colour render with a premium system costs £35-£50/m². EWI with render finish costs £80-£150/m² depending on insulation thickness and system.
What causes render to crack or fail?
Common causes include applying cement render to old lime-mortared buildings (compatibility failure), insufficient key on the substrate, movement joints omitted, frost damage to fresh render, and thermal expansion. Note any risk factors you identified in the survey on the invoice.
Should I include scaffold in my quote?
You can include or itemise scaffold separately. For transparency on larger jobs, separate the scaffold cost so clients understand the core render price versus access costs.
Do I need planning permission for changing render colour?
In conservation areas, a change of render colour or material may require planning permission or conservation area consent. Advise clients to check before approving a colour change on a re-render job.
