Invoice clients for render, stucco application, and external wall systems. Professional invoices from Tidybill.
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.
| Service | Typical Rate | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Sand-and-cement render (per m²) | 25 | m² |
| Silicone through-colour render (per m²) | 40 | m² |
| External wall insulation system (per m²) | 120 | m² |
| Lime render (heritage, per m²) | 55 | m² |
| Render crack repair and patch (per m²) | 60 | m² |
| Scaffold hire | 500 | week |
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.
