Local considerations in Gloucester
We also cover Cheltenham and Stroud, close to Gloucester. 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 Gloucestershire: 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 Gloucester homeowners ask for re-rendering, we price an insulated option alongside so the choice is clear.

England: planning and regulations
Before quoting in Gloucester, 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.
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 Gloucester: questions
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.
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.
