What we look for in Chester-le-Street
As well as Chester-le-Street itself, we quote in Washington, Houghton-le-Spring and Stanley. It's roughly 23 miles from Chester-le-Street to Darlington, the largest town in County Durham. The North East has many solid brick terraces, including former colliery housing, plus post-war council estates with some system-built homes.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across County Durham: 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.
EWI repairs in Chester-le-Street start with finding where water or damage got in, not just covering it.

What causes EWI to fail?

EWI repairs in Chester-le-Street: questions
Can damaged EWI be patched?
Yes, provided the board behind is dry and sound. Wet or crushed board is cut out and replaced.
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.
