Before we quote in Bournemouth
Surveys in Bournemouth also cover the surrounding BH1 district and towns such as Christchurch and Poole. 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.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Dorset: 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 houses in Bournemouth with shallow eaves, the insulated render thickness is planned with the roofline in mind.

Approvals in England
For a house in Bournemouth, 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.
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.
Is insulated render the same as EWI?
Yes — insulated render is the everyday name for a rendered EWI system. Some people also use it for thin thermal renders containing aerogel or cork, which are applied 20–40mm thick on heritage walls. They insulate far less than board systems, so we treat them as a specialist option.

Insulated render in Bournemouth: questions
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.
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.
How long does insulated render last?
Typically 25–30 years or more with maintenance; the manufacturer's documentation sets the service life for the specific system.
Do you cover Bournemouth?
Yes — we survey and quote insulated render in Bournemouth (BH1) and nearby Christchurch, Poole and New Milton, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
