Homes and walls in Llandrindod Wells
As well as Llandrindod Wells itself, we quote in Newtown, Brecon and Welshpool. It's roughly 19 miles from Llandrindod Wells to Newtown, the largest town in Powys. Mid Wales is largely rural, with stone farmhouses, cottages and market-town terraces, many of them solid-walled.
Parts of Powys 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 Llandrindod Wells is pebble-dashed, covering the dash is usually simpler than removing it.

Approvals in Wales
We check Llandrindod Wells 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 Llandrindod Wells: questions
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.
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.
