Homes and walls in Swansea
Surveys in Swansea also cover the surrounding SA1 district and towns such as Briton Ferry and Gorseinon. 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.
For Swansea homes with older solid walls, we'll usually steer you to silicone or mineral finishes instead.

Wales: planning and regulations
Householder rules in Wales are similar to England's: in Swansea, a similar-looking finish on a house is often permitted, but conservation areas, flats and listed buildings need permission or consent.
Building control in Wales applies to most insulation and re-rendering jobs of this size; the quote states who submits the notice.
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 Swansea: questions
Does acrylic render attract dirt?
It can hold dirt slightly more than silicone over time. Occasional gentle cleaning keeps it bright.
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.
