Homes and walls in Rochester
As well as Rochester itself, we quote in Chatham, Strood and Gillingham. It's roughly 8 miles from Rochester to Maidstone, the largest town in Kent. 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 Rochester would leave obvious patches, we price an elevation recoat as an option.

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.
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 Rochester: questions
Do you repair EWI as well as render?
Yes — see EWI repairs. The method differs because there's insulation behind the render.
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.
Do you cover Rochester?
Yes — we survey and quote render repairs in Rochester (ME1) and nearby Chatham, Strood and Gillingham, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
