Before we quote in Newtown
Surveys in Newtown also cover the surrounding SY16 district and towns such as Welshpool and Llandrindod Wells. 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.
For Newtown properties, the survey also confirms whether planning or building control is needed for your address.

Permissions in Wales
Householder rules in Wales are similar to England's: in Newtown, 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.
Is the survey really free?
For installation quotes, yes, with no obligation. Detailed condition reports on existing render or EWI — for example for a purchase, a dispute or a warranty claim — are a separate paid service, priced up front.
