Homes and walls in Ludlow
As well as Ludlow itself, we quote in Leominster, Stourport-on-Severn and Kidderminster. Ludlow sits around 24 miles from Telford. The West Midlands has large numbers of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, inter-war semis and post-war council estates, including concrete and steel-framed house types.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Shropshire: 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.
For Ludlow re-render jobs, we check whether building control needs notifying for your wall area.

Planning and building control in England
For a house in Ludlow, 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.
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 Ludlow: 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.
Do you cover Ludlow?
Yes — we survey and quote re-rendering in Ludlow (SY8) and nearby Leominster, Stourport-on-Severn and Kidderminster, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
