What we look for in Dover
We also cover Folkestone and Deal, close to Dover. Dover is about 36 miles from Maidstone. 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 Kent 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 Dover would leave obvious patches, we price an elevation recoat as an option.

Permissions 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 Dover: 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.
How soon can repairs be done?
Small repairs can usually be booked once a dry weather window is forecast.
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.
