Lime render in Fleet
From Fleet to Farnborough, we price lime render after a measured survey — no guesswork, and no work starts until the price is agreed in writing. For period homes in Fleet, we look for cement patching that may be trapping moisture before suggesting lime.

Before we quote in Fleet
Surveys in Fleet also cover the surrounding GU51 district and towns such as Farnborough and Aldershot. It's roughly 36 miles from Fleet to Southampton, the largest town in Hampshire. 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.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Hampshire: 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.
Lime work in Fleet is scheduled for frost-free months so the render cures properly.

England: planning and regulations
For a house in Fleet, 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.
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 lime render be insulated?
Yes, using wood fibre boards or insulating lime plasters. These keep the wall breathable while reducing heat loss.

Lime render in Fleet: questions
Does lime render need painting?
Traditionally it's limewashed, which is breathable. Modern masonry paints can block vapour, so we'd avoid them.
Is lime render more expensive?
Usually, because it's applied in coats by hand and needs more curing time.
Should I remove cement render from my stone house?
If it's cracked, hollow or trapping damp, often yes. If it's sound and the wall is dry, it may be left. The survey looks at both.
Do you cover Fleet?
Yes — we survey and quote lime render in Fleet (GU51) and nearby Farnborough, Aldershot and Yateley, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
