Before we quote in March
Surveys in March also cover the surrounding PE15 district and towns such as Wisbech and Peterborough. It's roughly 14 miles from March to Peterborough, the largest town in Cambridgeshire. The East of England has a mix of post-war estates, inter-war semis and older solid brick and flint cottages, with some system-built council homes on post-war estates.
Much of Cambridgeshire sits in the lower wind-driven rain exposure bands, which keeps the choice of finishes wide — though hilltop, coastal and exposed gable walls can still need a tougher specification, so we check the actual site.
For March re-render jobs, we check whether building control needs notifying for your wall area.

England: planning and regulations
Planning in March follows England's national rules: similar-looking finishes on houses are usually permitted, while flats, commercial premises, conservation areas and streets under an Article 4 direction need an application.
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.
Which new render should I choose?
On older solid walls, breathable lime or a mineral system is often safest. On sound modern masonry, silicone over a mesh base coat gives a durable, low-maintenance finish. If insulation is added, the finish is the one specified for the EWI system.

Re-rendering in March: questions
How do I know if my render has failed?
Signs include cracks, hollow sound when tapped, bulging, pieces falling off, and damp patches inside behind cracked areas.
Do I need building control for re-rendering?
In England and Wales, re-rendering more than half of a wall's area — or more than a quarter of the whole building's envelope — is controlled work under Part L, so usually yes. We explain how it's handled in the quote.
Can I re-render just one wall?
Yes, though matching colour and texture to the other walls may mean recoating them too.
Do you cover March?
Yes — we survey and quote re-rendering in March (PE15) and nearby Wisbech, Peterborough and King's Lynn, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
