What we look for in Torquay
We cover Torquay and nearby Paignton, Newton Abbot and Exmouth. Torquay sits around 28 miles from Plymouth. 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.
Parts of Devon fall in the higher wind-driven rain exposure bands, especially coastal and upland sites, so render specification, movement joints and detailing at cills, verges and the base of the wall matter more than usual.
For houses in Torquay with shallow eaves, the insulated render thickness is planned with the roofline in mind.

Planning and building control in England
Planning in Torquay follows England's national rules: similar-looking finishes on houses are usually permitted, while flats, commercial premises, conservation areas and streets under an Article 4 direction need an application.
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.
Can I choose two colours?
Yes. Many owners pick a main colour with a contrasting plinth, entrance surround or bay. Feature bands and recessed details can be formed in the insulation before rendering.

Insulated render in Torquay: questions
Will my house look different?
Yes, if it was brick or pebble dash. If you want to keep a brick look, a brick-slip finish over the insulation is an option.
Can insulated render be applied in winter?
Only in suitable weather — typically above 5°C and rising, with no frost or rain during curing. Winter programmes allow for lost days.
Does insulated render need painting?
Through-coloured silicone and acrylic renders don't need painting. Mineral renders are usually painted with a compatible masonry paint.
