Cornwall: walls, weather and approvals
The South West has many stone and solid-walled cottages, exposed coastal properties and a share of post-war system-built houses, including types such as the Cornish Unit.
Parts of Cornwall fall in the higher wind-driven rain exposure bands, especially coastal and upland sites, so render specification, movement joints and detailing at cills, verges and the base of the wall matter more than usual.
For render repairs in Cornwall, we photograph and map each crack so you can see what we propose and why.

England: planning and regulations
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.
When is repair not enough?
If more than about a fifth of an elevation is hollow or cracked, re-rendering is often better value. Re-rendering more than half of a wall also brings Building Regulations into play in England and Wales.

Render repairs in Cornwall: questions
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.
Do you repair EWI as well as render?
Yes — see EWI repairs. The method differs because there's insulation behind the render.
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.
Do you cover all of Cornwall?
Yes. We survey and quote render repairs across Cornwall, including Redruth, Falmouth, St Austell, Truro, Camborne.
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.
