Homes and walls in Bridgend
We cover Bridgend and nearby Maesteg, Port Talbot and Rhondda. Bridgend sits around 12 miles from Rhondda. South Wales has long runs of solid-wall valley terraces, Victorian and Edwardian town housing and post-war council estates.
Parts of Mid Glamorgan 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 Bridgend pebble dash jobs, we tap-test each elevation and mark any hollow areas.

Approvals in Wales
We check Bridgend 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.
Is it better to insulate over pebble dash?
If you're paying for scaffolding and a new finish anyway, adding insulation costs more but improves comfort considerably on solid or non-traditional walls. On cavity walls, check whether the cavity is filled first.

Cover pebble dash in Bridgend: 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 Bridgend?
Yes — we survey and quote pebble dash covering in Bridgend (CF31) and nearby Maesteg, Port Talbot and Rhondda, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
