Before we quote in Ludlow
Surveys in Ludlow also cover the surrounding SY8 district and towns such as Leominster and Stourport-on-Severn. Ludlow is about 24 miles from Telford. The West Midlands has large numbers of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, inter-war semis and post-war council estates, including concrete and steel-framed house types.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Shropshire: 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.
For Ludlow homes with older solid walls, we'll usually steer you to silicone or mineral finishes instead.

Permissions in England
For a house in Ludlow, 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 Ludlow: questions
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.
Does acrylic render attract dirt?
It can hold dirt slightly more than silicone over time. Occasional gentle cleaning keeps it bright.
Do you cover Ludlow?
Yes — we survey and quote acrylic render in Ludlow (SY8) and nearby Leominster, Stourport-on-Severn and Kidderminster, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
