Before we quote in Chelsea
We also cover Battersea and Fulham, close to Chelsea. London's housing includes a large stock of Victorian and Edwardian solid-wall terraces, inter-war semis and post-war blocks, and conservation areas cover many streets — so planning is often the first question for external work.
Much of Greater London sits in the lower wind-driven rain exposure bands, which keeps the choice of finishes wide — though hilltop, coastal and exposed gable walls can still need a tougher specification, so we check the actual site.
Acrylic can suit extensions in Chelsea, especially where a stronger colour is wanted.

England: planning and regulations
Planning in Chelsea follows England's national rules: similar-looking finishes on houses are usually permitted, while flats, commercial premises, conservation areas and streets under an Article 4 direction need an application.
Building control applies once more than half of a wall is insulated or re-rendered, or more than a quarter of the whole building envelope, and your written quote says how that's handled.
Where does acrylic work best?
On extensions, boarded surfaces, new blockwork with a base coat, and sheltered elevations. It's also a common finish on park homes.

Acrylic render in Chelsea: 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.
Can acrylic render go on a solid stone wall?
It's not our first choice there, because a vapour-open finish is safer on walls that need to breathe.
Do you cover Chelsea?
Yes — we survey and quote acrylic render in Chelsea (SW3) and nearby Battersea, Fulham and Shepherds Bush, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
