What we look for in Powys
Mid Wales is largely rural, with stone farmhouses, cottages and market-town terraces, many of them solid-walled.
Parts of Powys 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.
If you're comparing quotes in Powys, the written specification makes it easier to compare like for like.

Planning and building control in Wales
Permitted development rules for houses in Wales are similar to England's: a similar-appearance finish on a house is often permitted, while conservation areas, National Parks, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, flats, commercial buildings and listed buildings need permission or consent. Your local planning authority has the final word.
The Building Regulations as they apply in Wales treat insulating or re-rendering more than half of a wall's area, or more than a quarter of the building's whole envelope, as renovating a thermal element, with Approved Document L (Wales) setting the target. Building control is involved before work starts.
What do I get afterwards?
A written quote listing the system (board, thickness and finish), the detailing included, scaffolding, any repairs found, exclusions, the VAT treatment and the expected programme. Where planning or building control is needed, the quote says so and who handles it.

Survey and quote in Powys: questions
Can you quote from photos?
We can give a guide figure from photos and measurements, but a fixed price needs a visit.
How long is the quote valid?
The quote states its validity period, usually 30 days, because material prices change.
Do I need to be home?
Ideally yes, so we can check inside for damp and look at window reveals, but rear and side access is the main thing.
Do you cover all of Powys?
Yes. We survey and quote EWI and render surveys across Powys, including Newtown, Brecon, Welshpool, Llandrindod Wells.
Do I need planning permission in Wales?
Permitted development rules for houses in Wales are similar to England's: a similar-appearance finish on a house is often permitted, while conservation areas, National Parks, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, flats, commercial buildings and listed buildings need permission or consent. We check your address before quoting.
