Homes and walls in Thatcham
We cover Thatcham and nearby Newbury, Basingstoke and Reading. Thatcham sits around 13 miles from Reading. 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 Berkshire 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.
If repairs in Thatcham would leave obvious patches, we price an elevation recoat as an option.

Planning and building control in England
Most repair and maintenance work needs no planning application. We'll tell you if the scope grows to the point where building control is involved.
What causes render to crack?
Common causes are a render mix too strong for the wall, missing or corroded beads, water getting in at cills and copings, building movement, and render applied in poor weather. Fine surface crazing is usually cosmetic; wider cracks, stepped cracks or bulging need investigating before patching.

Render repairs in Thatcham: questions
Do you repair EWI as well as render?
Yes — see EWI repairs. The method differs because there's insulation behind the render.
Can you match my existing render colour?
We get as close as possible, but weathered render rarely matches a new patch exactly. A full-elevation recoat gives an even finish.
Are hairline cracks a problem?
Fine crazing is often cosmetic. Cracks wider than about 1mm, stepped cracks or bulges should be checked, as water can get behind.
