Before we quote in Brighton
Surveys in Brighton also cover the surrounding BN2 district and towns such as Hove and Portslade. 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.
Surveys in Brighton are booked at a time that suits you, with the written quote following afterwards.

Permissions in England
Before quoting in Brighton, 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.
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.

Survey and quote in Brighton: questions
How long does the survey take?
Usually 45–90 minutes for a house. Blocks and commercial buildings take longer.
Can you quote from photos?
We can give a guide figure from photos and measurements, but a fixed price needs a visit.
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.
Do you cover Brighton?
Yes — we survey and quote EWI and render surveys in Brighton (BN2) and nearby Hove, Portslade and Burgess Hill, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
