Before we quote in Holyhead
As well as Holyhead itself, we quote in Llangefni, Caernarfon and Bangor (Gwynedd). Holyhead is about 22 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.
If you're covering pebble dash in Holyhead, we price both a render-over and an insulate-over option.

Planning and building control in Wales
Householder rules in Wales are similar to England's: in Holyhead, a similar-looking finish on a house is often permitted, but conservation areas, flats and listed buildings need permission or consent.
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.

Cover pebble dash in Holyhead: 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.
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.
