Before we quote in Hawarden
We cover Hawarden and nearby Deeside, Buckley and Flint. Hawarden is about 10 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.
If you're covering pebble dash in Hawarden, we price both a render-over and an insulate-over option.

Permissions in Wales
For homes in Hawarden, 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 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.
