Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Clwyd: sheltered town streets fare better than walls on high ground or facing the prevailing weather, and the render, beads and cill details are chosen with that in mind.
For period homes in Rhosllanerchrugog, we look for cement patching that may be trapping moisture before suggesting lime.

Permissions in Wales
Householder rules in Wales are similar to England's: in Rhosllanerchrugog, 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.
Why use lime instead of cement?
Cement render is hard and relatively impermeable. On older walls built with lime mortar, it can crack, let rain in at the cracks and then stop the wall drying, leading to damp patches inside and spalling stone or brick. Lime is softer, more flexible and vapour-open, so moisture can escape.

Lime render in Rhosllanerchrugog: questions

Traditionally it's limewashed, which is breathable. Modern masonry paints can block vapour, so we'd avoid them.
Can lime render be applied in winter?
Only with protection and in frost-free conditions. Spring to early autumn is the usual season.
Is lime render more expensive?
Usually, because it's applied in coats by hand and needs more curing time.
