Before we quote in Dorset
The South West has many stone and solid-walled cottages, exposed coastal properties and a share of post-war system-built houses, including types such as the Cornish Unit.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Dorset: 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.
Low-level impact damage near drives and bins is a typical EWI repair, and we fix it in Dorset with compatible materials.

Planning and building control 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.
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 Dorset: questions
My EWI was installed under a grant — who repairs it?
First check the guarantee paperwork and contact the original installer or guarantee provider. If that route isn't available, we can quote.
Can damaged EWI be patched?
Yes, provided the board behind is dry and sound. Wet or crushed board is cut out and replaced.
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 Dorset?
Yes. We survey and quote EWI repairs across Dorset, including Bournemouth, Poole, Weymouth, Christchurch, Dorchester.
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.
