What we look for in Cambridgeshire
The East of England has a mix of post-war estates, inter-war semis and older solid brick and flint cottages, with some system-built council homes on post-war estates.
Much of Cambridgeshire 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.
Surveys in Cambridgeshire are booked at a time that suits you, with the written quote following afterwards.

Planning and building control in England
For houses, external wall insulation and render are often permitted development where the finish looks similar to the existing walls. Planning permission is usually needed in conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes, the Broads and World Heritage Sites (where cladding a house in stone, artificial stone, pebble dash, render, timber, plastic or tiles isn't permitted development), for flats and maisonettes, for commercial buildings, under an Article 4 direction, or where the look changes noticeably. Listed buildings need listed building consent.
Renovating more than half of a wall's area — insulating it, or stripping and re-rendering it — or more than a quarter of the building's whole external envelope brings in the energy requirements of Part L, so building control needs to be involved and the wall should reach about 0.30 W/m²K where that's technically, functionally and economically feasible.
What happens during the survey?
We measure each elevation, photograph the details that affect the job, check the wall construction and look for damp, cracking and loose render. Ground levels and the damp-proof course are recorded so the system starts in the right place. Eaves depth, window cills, flues, meters, soil pipes, satellite dishes and lights are all noted because each one needs a detail.
