Permissions in England
Before quoting in Thornaby-on-Tees, 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.
Building control applies once more than half of a wall is insulated or re-rendered, or more than a quarter of the whole building envelope, and your written quote says how that's handled.
How is lime render applied?
Old cement render is removed where it's causing problems, the wall is dampened, and lime is applied in successive coats — usually a scratch coat, a float coat and a finish coat — with curing time between. Freshly applied lime must be protected from frost, rain and fast drying.

Lime render in Thornaby-on-Tees: questions
Can lime render be applied in winter?
Only with protection and in frost-free conditions. Spring to early autumn is the usual season.
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.
Does lime render need painting?
Traditionally it's limewashed, which is breathable. Modern masonry paints can block vapour, so we'd avoid them.
