What we look for 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.
We bring finish samples to Newtown surveys so colours can be judged in daylight against your roof and windows.

Wales: planning and regulations
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.
What texture will it have?
Thin-coat renders come in grain sizes, typically 1–2mm. A 1.5mm grain is a common middle ground: fine enough to look smooth from the street, coarse enough to hide minor imperfections.

Insulated render in Newtown: questions
How long does insulated render last?
Typically 25–30 years or more with maintenance; the manufacturer's documentation sets the service life for the specific system.
Can insulated render be applied in winter?
Only in suitable weather — typically above 5°C and rising, with no frost or rain during curing. Winter programmes allow for lost days.
Does insulated render need painting?
Through-coloured silicone and acrylic renders don't need painting. Mineral renders are usually painted with a compatible masonry paint.
