What we look for in Dorchester
As well as Dorchester itself, we quote in Weymouth, Bridport and Yeovil. Dorchester sits around 24 miles from Bournemouth. 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.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Dorset: 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 render repairs in Dorchester, 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.
Will a repair be visible?
Patches in through-coloured render often show slightly, because the existing wall has weathered. Recoating the whole elevation with a compatible finish after repairs gives an even result, and we price that option.

Render repairs in Dorchester: questions
How soon can repairs be done?
Small repairs can usually be booked once a dry weather window is forecast.
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.
