What we look for in Brighton
We cover Brighton and nearby Hove, Portslade and Burgess Hill. Homes across the South East range from inter-war semis and post-war estates, which are mostly cavity-walled, to older solid-walled cottages and Victorian town terraces.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across East Sussex: 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.
When Brighton homeowners ask for re-rendering, we price an insulated option alongside so the choice is clear.

Approvals in England
For a house in Brighton, external insulation or render is often permitted development if it looks similar to the existing walls; conservation areas, flats, commercial buildings and listed buildings need permission or consent, so we check your address first.
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.
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 Brighton: 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.
Can I re-render just one wall?
Yes, though matching colour and texture to the other walls may mean recoating them too.
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 Brighton?
Yes — we survey and quote re-rendering in Brighton (BN2) and nearby Hove, Portslade and Burgess Hill, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
