Local considerations in Dorchester
Surveys in Dorchester also cover the surrounding DT1 district and towns such as Weymouth and Bridport. It's roughly 24 miles from Dorchester to Bournemouth, the largest town 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.
Surveys in Dorchester are booked at a time that suits you, with the written quote following afterwards.

Permissions in England
Before quoting in Dorchester, we check whether the property is in a conservation area, under an Article 4 direction or listed, because that decides whether changing the outside needs planning permission.
Insulating or re-rendering more than half of a wall's area brings in Part L of the Building Regulations, so building control is notified and the wall is upgraded to about 0.30 W/m²K where practical.
Is the survey really free?
For installation quotes, yes, with no obligation. Detailed condition reports on existing render or EWI — for example for a purchase, a dispute or a warranty claim — are a separate paid service, priced up front.
