Homes and walls in Eltham
As well as Eltham itself, we quote in Blackheath, Chislehurst and Welling. 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.
For Eltham homes with older solid walls, we'll usually steer you to silicone or mineral finishes instead.

England: planning and regulations
For a house in Eltham, 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.
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.
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 Eltham: 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 Eltham?
Yes — we survey and quote acrylic render in Eltham (SE9) and nearby Blackheath, Chislehurst and Welling, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
