Before we quote in Poole
Surveys in Poole also cover the surrounding BH15 district and towns such as Bournemouth and Christchurch. Poole is about 5 miles from Bournemouth. The South West has many stone and solid-walled cottages, exposed coastal properties and a share of post-war system-built houses, including types such as the Cornish Unit.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Dorset: sheltered town streets fare better than walls on high ground or facing the prevailing weather, and the render, beads and cill details are chosen with that in mind.
We show acrylic and silicone side by side at Poole surveys so you can see the difference in texture.

England: planning and regulations
For a house in Poole, external insulation or render is often permitted development if it looks similar to the existing walls; conservation areas, flats, commercial buildings and listed buildings need permission or consent, so we check your address first.
Insulating or re-rendering more than half of a wall's area brings in Part L of the Building Regulations, so building control is notified and the wall is upgraded to about 0.30 W/m²K where practical.
Acrylic or silicone?
Both are thin-coat, through-coloured finishes. Acrylic is more flexible and slightly cheaper; silicone is more water-repellent and vapour-open and generally stays cleaner. On older solid walls that need to breathe, silicone or mineral finishes are usually preferred.

Acrylic render in Poole: questions
How long does acrylic render last?
Typically 20–25 years or more with maintenance on a suitable wall.
Can I have a dark colour?
Yes, though very dark shades absorb more heat; the manufacturer's colour guidance is followed.
Does acrylic render attract dirt?
It can hold dirt slightly more than silicone over time. Occasional gentle cleaning keeps it bright.
Do you cover Poole?
Yes — we survey and quote acrylic render in Poole (BH15) and nearby Bournemouth, Christchurch and New Milton, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
