What we look for in Rugeley
We also cover Burntwood and Cannock, close to Rugeley. Rugeley is about 20 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.
If your house in Rugeley is pebble-dashed, covering the dash is usually simpler than removing it.

Approvals in England
Before quoting in Rugeley, 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.
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 Rugeley: 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.
