What we look for in Altrincham
We cover Altrincham and nearby Sale, Urmston and Stretford. Altrincham is about 8 miles from Manchester. The North West has one of the largest stocks of pre-1919 solid-wall terraces in England, alongside Pennine stone houses and post-war estates.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Greater Manchester: 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.
For Altrincham properties, the survey also confirms whether planning or building control is needed for your address.

Permissions in England
For a house in Altrincham, 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.
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.

How long does the survey take?
Usually 45–90 minutes for a house. Blocks and commercial buildings take longer.

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 is the quote valid?
The quote states its validity period, usually 30 days, because material prices change.
