What we look for in Ilford
We also cover Barking and Becontree, close to Ilford. London's housing includes a large stock of Victorian and Edwardian solid-wall terraces, inter-war semis and post-war blocks, and conservation areas cover many streets — so planning is often the first question for external work.
Much of Greater London 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.
For render repairs in Ilford, 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.
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 Ilford: 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.
Do you repair EWI as well as render?
Yes — see EWI repairs. The method differs because there's insulation behind the render.
How soon can repairs be done?
Small repairs can usually be booked once a dry weather window is forecast.
