Acrylic render in Port Talbot
From Port Talbot to Briton Ferry, we price acrylic render after a measured survey — no guesswork, and no work starts until the price is agreed in writing. For Port Talbot homes with older solid walls, we'll usually steer you to silicone or mineral finishes instead.

- Guide price from £60 per m² + scaffold, inc VAT

Port Talbot: walls, weather and approvals
As well as Port Talbot itself, we quote in Briton Ferry, Neath and Maesteg. Port Talbot sits around 7 miles from Swansea. South Wales has long runs of solid-wall valley terraces, Victorian and Edwardian town housing and post-war council estates.
Parts of West 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.
We show acrylic and silicone side by side at Port Talbot surveys so you can see the difference in texture.

Wales: planning and regulations
Householder rules in Wales are similar to England's: in Port Talbot, a similar-looking finish on a house is often permitted, but conservation areas, flats and listed buildings need permission or consent.
In Wales, insulating or re-rendering more than half of a wall's area is treated as renovating a thermal element under Approved Document L (Wales), so building control is involved before work starts.
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 Port Talbot: questions
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.
Does acrylic render attract dirt?
It can hold dirt slightly more than silicone over time. Occasional gentle cleaning keeps it bright.
