What we look for in Cardiff
We cover Cardiff and nearby Penarth, Caerphilly and Barry. South Wales has long runs of solid-wall valley terraces, Victorian and Edwardian town housing and post-war council estates.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across South Glamorgan: sheltered town streets fare better than walls on high ground or facing the prevailing weather, and the render, beads and cill details are chosen with that in mind.
Acrylic can suit extensions in Cardiff, especially where a stronger colour is wanted.

Wales: planning and regulations
Householder rules in Wales are similar to England's: in Cardiff, a similar-looking finish on a house is often permitted, but conservation areas, flats and listed buildings need permission or consent.
Welsh Building Regulations expect walls to be upgraded when a substantial area is renewed, and building control signs the work off.
Where does acrylic work best?
On extensions, boarded surfaces, new blockwork with a base coat, and sheltered elevations. It's also a common finish on park homes.

Acrylic render in Cardiff: questions
Can I have a dark colour?
Yes, though very dark shades absorb more heat; the manufacturer's colour guidance is followed.
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.
How long does acrylic render last?
Typically 20–25 years or more with maintenance on a suitable wall.
Do you cover Cardiff?
Yes — we survey and quote acrylic render in Cardiff (CF10) and nearby Penarth, Caerphilly and Barry, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
