What we look for in Thatcham
We cover Thatcham and nearby Newbury, Basingstoke and Reading. It's roughly 13 miles from Thatcham to Reading, the largest town in Berkshire. 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.
For Thatcham properties, the survey also confirms whether planning or building control is needed for your address.

Approvals in England
For a house in Thatcham, external insulation or render is often permitted development if it looks similar to the existing walls; conservation areas, flats, commercial buildings and listed buildings need permission or consent, so we check your address first.
Building control applies once more than half of a wall is insulated or re-rendered, or more than a quarter of the whole building envelope, and your written quote says how that's handled.
What do I get afterwards?
A written quote listing the system (board, thickness and finish), the detailing included, scaffolding, any repairs found, exclusions, the VAT treatment and the expected programme. Where planning or building control is needed, the quote says so and who handles it.

Survey and quote in Thatcham: questions
How long is the quote valid?
The quote states its validity period, usually 30 days, because material prices change.
Do I need to be home?
Ideally yes, so we can check inside for damp and look at window reveals, but rear and side access is the main thing.
How long does the survey take?
Usually 45–90 minutes for a house. Blocks and commercial buildings take longer.
