Rendering in Brighton and Hove
Rendering is the application of a protective and decorative coating to an external wall — traditional sand-cement, pebbledash (a wet render finished with dashed aggregate), or a modern silicone or monocouche system — to weatherproof the wall and improve its appearance.
In Brighton and Hove, that covers Kemp Town, Hove, Preston Park, Hanover, Seven Dials, Fiveways, Patcham, Portslade. Brighton and Hove is known for its Regency architecture, extensive Victorian terraced housing, and later 20th-century development, all within a compact coastal city where many properties are in conservation areas and a significant number are listed.

Property styles in Brighton and Hove
Regency squares and terraces are concentrated around Brunswick, Kemp Town and the seafront, with dense Victorian terraced housing across much of the wider city, and later suburban housing further from the centre. Basement conversions, loft conversions and rear extensions are common project types on the terraced stock, subject to conservation area and party wall considerations.
Planning considerations
Brighton & Hove City Council is the local planning authority. The city has one of the highest concentrations of conservation areas of any local authority in the South East, and many properties are listed, particularly in the Regency squares. Basement work also requires careful consideration of structural and drainage issues in a dense urban setting.

FAQs
Rendering in Brighton and Hove: FAQs
Do you provide rendering across all of Brighton and Hove?
Yes, we cover the BN1, BN2 and BN3 postcode areas in full, including Kemp Town, Hove, Preston Park, Hanover, Seven Dials, Fiveways, Patcham, Portslade.
What's the difference between traditional render and silicone render?
Traditional sand-cement render is a well-established, cost-effective option but can be prone to cracking and staining over time. Silicone and other modern polymer renders are more flexible, self-cleaning to a degree, and resist algae growth better, at a higher initial cost.
Can pebbledash be removed and replaced with a smooth render?
Yes, this is a common refresh — the pebbledash and old render are removed back to a sound substrate, then a new render system is applied and finished smooth or textured as preferred.
Can I extend a listed Regency property in Brighton?
Alterations to listed buildings require listed building consent in addition to any planning permission, and the historic character of Regency terraces means proposals are considered carefully. We assess feasibility on a case-by-case basis.
