Burntwood: walls, weather and approvals
As well as Burntwood itself, we quote in Brownhills, Lichfield and Cannock. Burntwood sits around 25 miles from Stoke-on-Trent. The West Midlands has large numbers of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, inter-war semis and post-war council estates, including concrete and steel-framed house types.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Staffordshire: sheltered town streets fare better than walls on high ground or facing the prevailing weather, and the render, beads and cill details are chosen with that in mind.
Before quoting Burntwood pebble dash jobs, we tap-test each elevation and mark any hollow areas.

Planning and building control in England
For a house in Burntwood, external insulation or render is often permitted development if it looks similar to the existing walls; conservation areas, flats, commercial buildings and listed buildings need permission or consent, so we check your address first.
Building control applies once more than half of a wall is insulated or re-rendered, or more than a quarter of the whole building envelope, and your written quote says how that's handled.
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 Burntwood: questions
Is it cheaper to cover pebble dash or remove it?
Covering is usually cheaper and less disruptive, as long as the dash is sound.
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.
