Hey dreamhomemummy, don't think cladding can be rendered, but i'm no expert! Worst case scenario I guess you could just take the cladding off and then render over that?

Went and had a look at the house today to see how things were going, and we have plaster! The plasterers were actually on site finishing off the final touches…

Not sure yet, probably dark grey, will see how it all looks with the render, garage door and driveway in. We thought we'd like to have that contrast so picked…
