Rendering in Moseley: approvals and local details
Work like this in Moseley rarely needs planning permission, but parts of the job must meet Building Regulations — certified electrical work, ventilation or energy-efficiency standards, for example. Your quote shows how each part is signed off. If planning does come into it, say for a listed building, Birmingham City Council is the authority.

Which options suit homes in Moseley?
Silicone render
A thin-coat render applied over a base coat and mesh, with silicone added so rain beads off and dirt washes away. Silicone render is through-coloured, so it needs no painting, flexes slightly with the wall and lets moisture escape. It costs more than sand and cement but needs far less upkeep.
Insulated render (EWI)
External wall insulation boards fixed to the wall, with mesh, base coat and a silicone or acrylic top coat. It makes solid-walled homes warmer and is the usual way to meet building regulations when re-rendering more than half of an uninsulated wall. It thickens the wall, so window cills, pipes and the roof overhang need detailing.

Before you book in Moseley
What guarantee comes with new render?
The render system carries the manufacturer's guarantee, and the terms for your system are set out in your quote. Some manufacturers' guarantees depend on their full system and application method being used, which we follow. Keep the paperwork with any building control certificate for the work.
How do I book a survey in Moseley?
Send the form on this page, use the guide-price tool or call 0800 088 6248 free. We'll ask a few questions about your render and arrange a time to visit.
Will my house be disrupted while it's rendered?
Most of the work is outside, but there's scaffolding around the house, noise when old render is removed, and dust. Windows are masked during spraying and coating, which can make rooms darker for a few days. Downpipes and outside lights are removed temporarily and refitted at the end.
Will I need permission from the council in Moseley?
You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Moseley is provided by Birmingham City Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
