Neath: walls, weather and approvals
We also cover Briton Ferry and Port Talbot, close to Neath. It's roughly 7 miles from Neath to Swansea, the largest town in West Glamorgan. 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 bring brick slip samples to Neath surveys so you can compare them with neighbouring houses.

Planning and building control in Wales
We check Neath addresses for conservation areas and listing before quoting, because Welsh permitted development rules don't cover every external change.
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.
Why choose brick slips over render?
Permitted development for houses in England and Wales generally expects materials of a similar appearance to the existing walls. On a brick terrace or estate, render can change the street scene, while brick slips keep it. Some owners simply prefer the brick look.
