What we look for in Ilkeston
We also cover Heanor and Long Eaton, close to Ilkeston. Ilkeston sits around 8 miles from Derby. Housing in the East Midlands includes Victorian terraces in the towns and cities, plenty of inter-war semis and post-war council estates, some of them system-built.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Derbyshire: 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.
On older houses in Ilkeston, stripping old render often reveals mortar repairs that are best done before re-rendering.

Planning and building control in England
Before quoting in Ilkeston, 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.
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 Ilkeston: questions
Can I re-render just one wall?
Yes, though matching colour and texture to the other walls may mean recoating them too.
Is it worth adding insulation?
On solid or concrete walls it's usually the most cost-effective time to do it, because access and preparation are already paid for.
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.
