Before we quote in Colwyn Bay
Surveys in Colwyn Bay also cover the surrounding LL29 district and towns such as Llandudno and Rhyl. Colwyn Bay is about 35 miles from Wrexham. North Wales has many solid stone and slate-built homes, Victorian seaside terraces and post-war council estates.
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.
Before quoting Colwyn Bay pebble dash jobs, we tap-test each elevation and mark any hollow areas.

Permissions in Wales
We check Colwyn Bay addresses for conservation areas and listing before quoting, because Welsh permitted development rules don't cover every external change.
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.
Can you render over pebble dash?
Yes, if it's well bonded. The surface is cleaned, any loose patches removed and repaired, then a levelling base coat with mesh goes over the stones before the finish. This is cheaper and less disruptive than removing the dash.

Cover pebble dash in Colwyn Bay: questions
Can I paint pebble dash instead?
You can, but it doesn't fix hollow areas or cracks, and paint on dash often needs redoing every few years.
Is it cheaper to cover pebble dash or remove it?
Covering is usually cheaper and less disruptive, as long as the dash is sound.
Will the stones show through?
No. A levelling base coat with mesh fills over the stones before the finish goes on.
