Question 1

What does facade renovation include?

Accepted Answer

Your Runner assesses the condition of the facade and addresses whatever is needed, for example repairing cracks and damage, repainting or treating the facade material. The goal is for the facade to last longer and withstand wind and weather better.

Question 2

What types of facades can the Runner help with?

Accepted Answer

We help you whether you have a wood, render or brick facade. The work needed differs: a wood facade may need replacing where it has rotted, while a render facade more often involves repairing cracks or dealing with mould. Describe your facade and what problems you see in your request, and you'll be matched with a Runner who has the right experience.

Question 3

How do I know if my facade needs renovating?

Accepted Answer

Common signs are visible cracks, peeling or bubbling paint, loose sections of the facade, mould or damp patches. The sooner it's addressed, the smaller the risk that the damage spreads or affects what's behind the facade. If you're unsure whether painting is enough or a more extensive renovation is needed, describe what you see and your Runner will help you assess it on site.

Question 4

Does the ROT deduction apply to facade renovation?

Accepted Answer

Yes, facade renovation through TaskRunner is ROT-eligible. The deduction is 30% of the labour cost, which means you pay 70% yourself. The deduction is applied directly on the invoice. You don't need to do anything extra for it.

Question 5

What affects the price of facade renovation?

Accepted Answer

The price depends partly on the size and material of the facade, how extensive the damage is, and whether scaffolding is needed to reach the whole surface. Send a request and describe what you see, ideally with photos, and you'll get bids from Runners who can help you. Then you choose who you want to hire yourself.

Question 6

How do I book help with facade renovation?

Accepted Answer

The easiest way is to download the TaskRunner app (Get the job done) or create the request directly on the website. Describe what needs to be done, ideally with photos of the facade, and when you need help. If you created the request on the website, you'll need to download the app to receive bids and hire a Runner.

Question 7

Is it safe to pay through TaskRunner?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You pay directly in the app when you hire a Runner, and the money is held until the job is finished and you have approved it. Should anything not be right, our refund policy is there to protect you.
