How Much Does It Cost to Renovate the Outside of a House?
Your house isn’t a typical house.
Upload one photo and see what your house could cost. Facet Pro finds your windows, doors, walls, roofline and roof, lets you try new ones on your own house, and prices the whole outside together.

Why the total is not five quotes added up
Five jobs quoted separately by five companies means paying for access five times, five sets of mobilisation, and five companies each protecting their own margin against the others’ unknowns. Priced together, the scaffold goes up once.
It also means you see one number for the outside of your house instead of five that never quite add up to a decision. That is the whole reason this site prices all of it together, starting from one photo of the front.
What is included in these prices
Each line is priced the same way as its own guide: windows and doors fitted with the old ones taken away; walls, roofline and roof with materials, labour, waste and scaffolding. All inc VAT.
Not included: structural repairs, anything behind the surfaces being replaced, and internal making good.
Planning estimate or quotation?
Every figure on this page is a planning estimate: what a job like this typically costs, for budgeting and for judging the quotes you get. It is not a quotation. A quotation comes from an installer after a survey, when the exact sizes, specification and condition of your house are known.
Facet Pro narrows the estimate to your own house from a photograph of the front — the windows it can see, the wall it can measure against your front door — and says which parts are measured and which are estimated for your house type. Your installer confirms the figure on survey.

Common questions
How much does it cost to renovate the outside of a house?
For a typical semi doing windows, a front door, walls, roofline and roof together, see the itemised table above. You do not have to do all five — add up the lines that apply to your house.
Is it cheaper to do everything at once?
Often, because jobs at height share one scaffold and one set-up, and the result matches.
Where should I start?
Whatever is failing first — usually roofline or windows — and plan the rest around the same scaffold.
Facet Pro is in early access. We are starting to check how we measure wall area from a photograph against surveyed properties, so treat wall and roof figures as indicative and window figures as a guide.
Your house isn’t average.
See this project on your own home and get a planning estimate. Any figure on this page is for a typical house. Start with one photograph of the front and we will find your windows, doors, roof and walls, estimate your wall area, and price your own elevation.

These are planning estimates — not a quotation, and not a survey. Windows and doors: what these jobs typically sell for, from 25 years in the home improvement industry, checked against current UK prices. Render, roof and roofline: UK material and labour rates, with scaffolding, waste and VAT. What you pay depends on your own house and, more than anything else, on which company quotes it. Your installer confirms the figure on survey. Prices checked October 2026.
