What we look for in Kettering
We also cover Wellingborough and Corby, close to Kettering. It's roughly 12 miles from Kettering to Northampton, the largest town in Northamptonshire. Housing in the East Midlands includes Victorian terraces in the towns and cities, plenty of inter-war semis and post-war council estates, some of them system-built.
Much of Northamptonshire 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 Kettering, stripping old render often reveals mortar repairs that are best done before re-rendering.

Planning and building control in England
For a house in Kettering, 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.
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.
What's involved in stripping old render?
The render is hacked off, usually with breakers, and the debris bagged or skipped. The wall is then inspected: loose bricks, eroded mortar and damp spots are repaired, and the surface is prepared to suit the new system.

Re-rendering in Kettering: 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.
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.
Can I re-render just one wall?
Yes, though matching colour and texture to the other walls may mean recoating them too.
Do you cover Kettering?
Yes — we survey and quote re-rendering in Kettering (NN16) and nearby Wellingborough, Corby and Rushden, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
