Before we quote in Newcastle-under-Lyme
Surveys in Newcastle-under-Lyme also cover the surrounding ST5 district and towns such as Stoke-on-Trent and Kidsgrove. Newcastle-under-Lyme is about 2 miles from Stoke-on-Trent.

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