Homes and walls in Caernarfon
We also cover Llangefni and Bangor (Gwynedd), close to Caernarfon. Caernarfon is about 8 miles from Bangor (Gwynedd). 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.
Before quoting Caernarfon pebble dash jobs, we tap-test each elevation and mark any hollow areas.

Permissions in Wales
Householder rules in Wales are similar to England's: in Caernarfon, a similar-looking finish on a house is often permitted, but conservation areas, flats and listed buildings need permission or consent.
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 Caernarfon: questions
Will the stones show through?
No. A levelling base coat with mesh fills over the stones before the finish goes on.
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.
Do you cover Caernarfon?
Yes — we survey and quote pebble dash covering in Caernarfon (LL55) and nearby Llangefni, Bangor (Gwynedd) and Holyhead, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
