What we look for in Taunton
Surveys in Taunton also cover the surrounding TA1 district and towns such as Bridgwater and Burnham-on-Sea. It's roughly 41 miles from Taunton to Bath, the largest town in Somerset. 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 Somerset: 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 Taunton is scheduled for frost-free months so the render cures properly.

England: planning and regulations
Before quoting in Taunton, 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.
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 Taunton: questions
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.
Can lime render be applied in winter?
Only with protection and in frost-free conditions. Spring to early autumn is the usual season.
Is lime render more expensive?
Usually, because it's applied in coats by hand and needs more curing time.
