Reading: walls, weather and approvals
We cover Reading and nearby Earley, Wokingham and Crowthorne. 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 Berkshire 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.
Low-level impact damage near drives and bins is a typical EWI repair, and we fix it in Reading with compatible materials.

Planning and building control in England
Small repairs and cleaning in Reading normally need no approvals. Listed buildings are the exception — even minor external work can need consent.
What causes EWI to fail?
Most problems start at details: cills that are too short or not sealed, unsealed pipe penetrations, missing drip beads, ground levels too close to the base track, or impact at low level. Where a defect is widespread, we report the likely cause before quoting.

EWI repairs in Reading: questions
Will the repair be visible?
Usually slightly, because the existing finish has weathered. A recoat of the elevation evens it out.
Why is my EWI cracking?
Common causes are missing movement joints, poor mesh overlap, fixing problems or movement in the wall. We look for the cause rather than filling the crack.
Can damaged EWI be patched?
Yes, provided the board behind is dry and sound. Wet or crushed board is cut out and replaced.
Do you cover Reading?
Yes — we survey and quote EWI repairs in Reading (RG1) and nearby Earley, Wokingham and Crowthorne, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
