Permissions in Wales
For homes in Buckley, the local planning authority decides any borderline cases; changing a brick house to render, or work on flats, usually needs an application in Wales.
Building control in Wales applies to most insulation and re-rendering jobs of this size; the quote states who submits the notice.
How is lime render applied?
Old cement render is removed where it's causing problems, the wall is dampened, and lime is applied in successive coats — usually a scratch coat, a float coat and a finish coat — with curing time between. Freshly applied lime must be protected from frost, rain and fast drying.

Lime render in Buckley: questions
Does lime render need painting?
Traditionally it's limewashed, which is breathable. Modern masonry paints can block vapour, so we'd avoid them.
Should I remove cement render from my stone house?
If it's cracked, hollow or trapping damp, often yes. If it's sound and the wall is dry, it may be left. The survey looks at both.
Is lime render more expensive?
Usually, because it's applied in coats by hand and needs more curing time.
