Homes and walls in Cumbria
The North West has one of the largest stocks of pre-1919 solid-wall terraces in England, alongside Pennine stone houses and post-war estates.
Parts of Cumbria fall in the higher wind-driven rain exposure bands, especially coastal and upland sites, so render specification, movement joints and detailing at cills, verges and the base of the wall matter more than usual.

Approvals in England
Repairs, cleaning and like-for-like patching don't usually need planning permission or building control. If repairs grow into re-rendering more than half of a wall, Building Regulations energy rules can apply.
Listed buildings are the exception: even small external repairs can need listed building consent, so tell us if your property is listed.
How is damaged EWI repaired?
The damaged area is cut back to sound render and board. Wet or crushed insulation is replaced, a new base coat with overlapping mesh is applied, then primer and a matching finish. The repair overlaps the existing mesh so it's reinforced like the original.

EWI repairs in Cumbria: 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.
Do you cover all of Cumbria?
Yes. We survey and quote EWI repairs across Cumbria, including Carlisle, Barrow-in-Furness, Kendal, Workington, Whitehaven.
Do I need planning permission in England?
For houses, external wall insulation and render are often permitted development where the finish looks similar to the existing walls. We check your address before quoting.
