Bournemouth: walls, weather and approvals
We also cover Christchurch and Poole, close to Bournemouth. 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.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Dorset: 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 Bournemouth, stripping old render often reveals mortar repairs that are best done before re-rendering.

Approvals in England
Before quoting in Bournemouth, 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.
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.
Why should I think about insulation when re-rendering?
In England and Wales, replacing render on more than half of a wall's area is treated as renovating a thermal element, so the wall is expected to be upgraded to about 0.30 W/m²K where that's technically, functionally and economically feasible. The scaffold, preparation and finish are being paid for anyway, so the extra cost of insulation is lower than doing it later. We price both options.

Re-rendering in Bournemouth: 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.
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.
Do you cover Bournemouth?
Yes — we survey and quote re-rendering in Bournemouth (BH1) and nearby Christchurch, Poole and New Milton, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
