Kent: walls, weather and approvals
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 Kent 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.
We clean render in Kent with low pressure only, so thin-coat and EWI finishes aren't damaged.

Planning and building control in England
Repairs, cleaning and like-for-like patching don't usually need planning permission or building control. If repairs grow into re-rendering more than half of a wall, Building Regulations energy rules can apply.
Listed buildings are the exception: even small external repairs can need listed building consent, so tell us if your property is listed.
How long does cleaned render stay clean?
It depends on shade, trees and exposure. Many walls stay clean for several years after a biocide treatment. North-facing, shaded and damp walls may need treating more often.

Render cleaning in Kent: questions
Is render cleaning safe for EWI?
Yes, using low pressure and products suitable for thin-coat render.
Will the green come back?
The biocide slows regrowth considerably, but shaded, damp walls can need retreating every few years.
Do you need scaffolding?
Usually not for a two-storey house; poles and low-pressure equipment reach most walls.
Do you cover all of Kent?
Yes. We survey and quote render cleaning across Kent, including Maidstone, Gillingham, Chatham, Tunbridge Wells, Folkestone.
Do I need planning permission in England?
For houses, external wall insulation and render are often permitted development where the finish looks similar to the existing walls. We check your address before quoting.
