Homes and walls in Bangor (Gwynedd)
We cover Bangor (Gwynedd) and nearby Llangefni, Caernarfon and Llandudno. North Wales has many solid stone and slate-built homes, Victorian seaside terraces and post-war council estates.
Parts of Gwynedd 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.
Whole-house jobs and single elevations are both quoted in Bangor (Gwynedd); a cold gable or rear wall can be done on its own where it suits.
