Exmouth: walls, weather and approvals
As well as Exmouth itself, we quote in Exeter, Newton Abbot and Torquay. Exmouth sits around 37 miles from Plymouth. 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 Devon 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.
For Exmouth re-render jobs, we check whether building control needs notifying for your wall area.

Approvals in England
Planning in Exmouth 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.
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.
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 Exmouth: questions
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.
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.
