What we look for in East Sussex
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.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across East Sussex: 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.

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 East Sussex: questions
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.
Will the repair be visible?
Usually slightly, because the existing finish has weathered. A recoat of the elevation evens it out.
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.
Do you cover all of East Sussex?
Yes. We survey and quote EWI repairs across East Sussex, including Brighton, Hastings, Eastbourne, Hove, Bexhill-on-Sea.
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.
