Approvals 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.
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 Derby: questions
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.
How soon can repairs be done?
Small repairs can usually be booked once a dry weather window is forecast.
Do you repair EWI as well as render?
Yes — see EWI repairs. The method differs because there's insulation behind the render.
Do you cover Derby?
Yes — we survey and quote render repairs in Derby (DE1) and nearby Belper, Ilkeston and Heanor, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
