Before we quote in Maesteg
As well as Maesteg itself, we quote in Port Talbot, Briton Ferry and Neath. Maesteg is about 10 miles from Rhondda. South Wales has long runs of solid-wall valley terraces, Victorian and Edwardian town housing and post-war council estates.
Parts of Mid Glamorgan 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 stone and early brick properties in Maesteg, lime render is often the right answer.

Wales: planning and regulations
For homes in Maesteg, the local planning authority decides any borderline cases; changing a brick house to render, or work on flats, usually needs an application in Wales.
Welsh Building Regulations expect walls to be upgraded when a substantial area is renewed, and building control signs the work off.
Can lime render be insulated?
Yes, using wood fibre boards or insulating lime plasters. These keep the wall breathable while reducing heat loss.

Lime render in Maesteg: questions
Is lime render more expensive?
Usually, because it's applied in coats by hand and needs more curing time.
Does lime render need painting?
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.
