How much does cladding and masonry spraying cost in Plymouth in 2026? From £18/m² masonry, £25/m² cladding. Transparent per-m² and whole-house pricing.
Exterior painting is one of the highest-cost-per-square-metre jobs on a house — and easily the most varied in quality. A budget brushed coat can fail in 3 years. A premium sprayed elastomeric system lasts 15–25. Here's the honest 2026 cost breakdown for cladding and masonry spraying in Plymouth.
Masonry spraying from £18/m². Cladding (timber, Cedral, render board) from £25/m². K-Rend or pebbledash from £22/m². A typical 3-bed Plymouth semi (~120m² of exterior surface) costs £2,200–£3,800 fully done.
Smooth render or previously-painted masonry. Lowest prep, fastest application. Two coats of premium UV-stable masonry paint.
Discoloured or marked K-Rend can be sprayed with a silicone-modified masonry paint that bonds to the existing finish. Restores the colour, doesn't change the texture.
Pebbledash sprays beautifully — better than brushing, because spraying gets into all the gaps between stones. Two coats minimum.
Painting brick is a one-way decision (very hard to remove later). We recommend a mineral-based or silicate paint that breathes — not standard masonry paint which can trap moisture in old brick.
Cedar, larch, ThermoWood, painted softwood. Pricing varies by prep — sanding back of any peeling existing finish, knot sealing, etc.
Cedral lap or click systems can be resprayed to refresh colour. We use a primer designed for fibre-cement.
Plastic cladding follows the same process as uPVC windows. See our uPVC durability guide.
Including substrate-specific etch primer. Often used on commercial Plymouth buildings.
Typically 50–70m² of rear masonry.
120–160m² of mixed masonry, render and pebbledash.
180–240m² depending on conservatory, gables and chimneys.
Single-storey, easy access, smaller m².
Industrial cladding, retail frontages, hotel renovation work.
A properly sprayed premium silicone-modified system on Plymouth masonry lasts 15–25 years. Cheaper systems last 5–8. See our paint system guide.
Send 6–10 photos: front, rear, both side elevations, any conservatory, plus a close-up of the existing render surface. We do a free site visit for anything bigger than a single elevation.
Most Plymouth 3-bed semis are £2,200–£3,800 fully sprayed including masonry, render and any pebbledash. Detached 4-beds run £3,200–£5,500.
Slightly more per m² because of paint volume, but the job is 3–4x faster and lasts longer because of more uniform film build.
Scaffolding is usually quoted as a line item — typically £800–£2,500 depending on the property. Bungalows and single-storey work often skip it entirely with ladder or low-rise tower access.
Yes. Two coats of opaque masonry paint over a properly cleaned and primed substrate fully obscures stains and lichen marks.
