Homes and walls in Cannock
We cover Cannock and nearby Burntwood, Bloxwich and Brownhills. It's roughly 23 miles from Cannock to Stoke-on-Trent, the largest town in Staffordshire. 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.
If your house in Cannock is pebble-dashed, covering the dash is usually simpler than removing it.

Approvals in England
Before quoting in Cannock, we check whether the property is in a conservation area, under an Article 4 direction or listed, because that decides whether changing the outside needs planning permission.
Insulating or re-rendering more than half of a wall's area brings in Part L of the Building Regulations, so building control is notified and the wall is upgraded to about 0.30 W/m²K where practical.
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.
