Homes and walls in Falmouth
We also cover Truro and Redruth, close to Falmouth. Falmouth sits around 9 miles from Redruth. 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.
Parts of Cornwall fall in the higher wind-driven rain exposure bands, especially coastal and upland sites, so render specification, movement joints and detailing at cills, verges and the base of the wall matter more than usual.
On older houses in Falmouth, stripping old render often reveals mortar repairs that are best done before re-rendering.

Approvals in England
Before quoting in Falmouth, 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.
Insulating or re-rendering more than half of a wall's area brings in Part L of the Building Regulations, so building control is notified and the wall is upgraded to about 0.30 W/m²K where practical.
What's involved in stripping old render?
The render is hacked off, usually with breakers, and the debris bagged or skipped. The wall is then inspected: loose bricks, eroded mortar and damp spots are repaired, and the surface is prepared to suit the new system.

Re-rendering in Falmouth: questions
Can I re-render just one wall?
Yes, though matching colour and texture to the other walls may mean recoating them too.
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.
Do you cover Falmouth?
