Homes and walls in Dover
We cover Dover and nearby Folkestone, Deal and Canterbury. Dover sits around 36 miles from Maidstone. 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 Kent 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 Dover properties, the survey also confirms whether planning or building control is needed for your address.

Planning and building control in England
Before quoting in Dover, 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.
If the work covers more than half of a wall, or a quarter of the building's whole envelope, it counts as renovating a thermal element, with a target of about 0.30 W/m²K where 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.

Survey and quote in Dover: questions
Do I need to be home?

Can you quote from photos?
We can give a guide figure from photos and measurements, but a fixed price needs a visit.
How long is the quote valid?
The quote states its validity period, usually 30 days, because material prices change.
