What the job covers

- In England and Wales, Building Regulations apply when more than half of a wall is re-rendered
What we look for in Eltham
Surveys in Eltham also cover the surrounding SE9 district and towns such as Blackheath and Chislehurst. London's housing includes a large stock of Victorian and Edwardian solid-wall terraces, inter-war semis and post-war blocks, and conservation areas cover many streets — so planning is often the first question for external work.
Much of Greater London sits in the lower wind-driven rain exposure bands, which keeps the choice of finishes wide — though hilltop, coastal and exposed gable walls can still need a tougher specification, so we check the actual site.
On older houses in Eltham, stripping old render often reveals mortar repairs that are best done before re-rendering.

Planning and building control in England
For a house in Eltham, 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.
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.
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 Eltham: 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.
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.
Do you cover Eltham?
