Local considerations in Rhondda
We cover Rhondda and nearby Aberdare, Pontypridd and Merthyr Tydfil. South Wales has long runs of solid-wall valley terraces, Victorian and Edwardian town housing and post-war council estates.
Parts of Mid Glamorgan fall in the higher wind-driven rain exposure bands, especially coastal and upland sites, so render specification, movement joints and detailing at cills, verges and the base of the wall matter more than usual.
For Rhondda homes with older solid walls, we'll usually steer you to silicone or mineral finishes instead.

Permissions in Wales
For homes in Rhondda, the local planning authority decides any borderline cases; changing a brick house to render, or work on flats, usually needs an application in Wales.
Welsh Building Regulations expect walls to be upgraded when a substantial area is renewed, and building control signs the work off.
Acrylic or silicone?
Both are thin-coat, through-coloured finishes. Acrylic is more flexible and slightly cheaper; silicone is more water-repellent and vapour-open and generally stays cleaner. On older solid walls that need to breathe, silicone or mineral finishes are usually preferred.

Acrylic render in Rhondda: questions
How long does acrylic render last?
Typically 20–25 years or more with maintenance on a suitable wall.
Can acrylic render go on a solid stone wall?
It's not our first choice there, because a vapour-open finish is safer on walls that need to breathe.
Can I have a dark colour?
Yes, though very dark shades absorb more heat; the manufacturer's colour guidance is followed.
