Before we quote in Whitstable
We also cover Herne Bay and Canterbury, close to Whitstable. Whitstable is about 23 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 Whitstable properties, the survey also confirms whether planning or building control is needed for your address.

Planning and building control in England
Before quoting in Whitstable, 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.
