Local considerations in Crawley
Surveys in Crawley also cover the surrounding RH11 district and towns such as Horley and Horsham. 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.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across West Sussex: 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 Crawley re-render jobs, we check whether building control needs notifying for your wall area.

Permissions in England
Before quoting in Crawley, 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.
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 Crawley: 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.
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.
Do you cover Crawley?
Yes — we survey and quote re-rendering in Crawley (RH11) and nearby Horley, Horsham and East Grinstead, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
