Local considerations in Dover
We cover Dover and nearby Folkestone, Deal and Canterbury. It's roughly 36 miles from Dover to Maidstone, the largest town in Kent. Homes across the South East range from inter-war semis and post-war estates, which are mostly cavity-walled, to older solid-walled cottages and Victorian town terraces.
Much of Kent 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.
We show acrylic and silicone side by side at Dover surveys so you can see the difference in texture.

Permissions in England
Planning in Dover 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 Dover: questions
How long does acrylic render last?
Typically 20–25 years or more with maintenance on a suitable wall.
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.
Can I have a dark colour?
Yes, though very dark shades absorb more heat; the manufacturer's colour guidance is followed.
Do you cover Dover?
Yes — we survey and quote acrylic render in Dover (CT16) and nearby Folkestone, Deal and Canterbury, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
