Before we quote in Guildford
We cover Guildford and nearby Godalming, Woking and Aldershot. Guildford sits around 6 miles from Woking. 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.
Much of Surrey 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 Guildford, stripping old render often reveals mortar repairs that are best done before re-rendering.

Approvals in England
For a house in Guildford, 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.
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 Guildford: 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.
Can I re-render just one wall?
Yes, though matching colour and texture to the other walls may mean recoating them too.
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 Guildford?
Yes — we survey and quote re-rendering in Guildford (GU1) and nearby Godalming, Woking and Aldershot, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
