What we look for in Bangor (Gwynedd)
As well as Bangor (Gwynedd) itself, we quote in Llangefni, Caernarfon and Llandudno. North Wales has many solid stone and slate-built homes, Victorian seaside terraces and post-war council estates.
Parts of Gwynedd 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.
If your house in Bangor (Gwynedd) is pebble-dashed, covering the dash is usually simpler than removing it.

Permissions in Wales
We check Bangor (Gwynedd) addresses for conservation areas and listing before quoting, because Welsh permitted development rules don't cover every external change.
Building control in Wales applies to most insulation and re-rendering jobs of this size; the quote states who submits the notice.
When does pebble dash need removing?
Where it's widely hollow, cracked or letting water in, or where the wall underneath needs to be inspected or repaired. Removal is dusty and noisy and can damage the face of soft bricks, so it's not the default.

Cover pebble dash in Bangor (Gwynedd): 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.
Will the stones show through?
No. A levelling base coat with mesh fills over the stones before the finish goes on.
Does covering pebble dash need planning permission?
Changing the finish on a house usually doesn't in England and Wales outside conservation areas, but check if your house is in one or is listed.
Do you cover Bangor (Gwynedd)?
Yes — we survey and quote pebble dash covering in Bangor (Gwynedd, LL57) and nearby Llangefni, Caernarfon and Llandudno, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
