What we look for in Maesteg
We cover Maesteg and nearby Port Talbot, Briton Ferry and Neath. Maesteg sits around 10 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.
If your house in Maesteg is pebble-dashed, covering the dash is usually simpler than removing it.

Wales: planning and regulations
We check Maesteg addresses for conservation areas and listing before quoting, because Welsh permitted development rules don't cover every external change.
Welsh Building Regulations expect walls to be upgraded when a substantial area is renewed, and building control signs the work off.
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 Maesteg: 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.
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.
Is it cheaper to cover pebble dash or remove it?
Covering is usually cheaper and less disruptive, as long as the dash is sound.
