Homes and walls in Tamworth
As well as Tamworth itself, we quote in Lichfield, Sutton Coldfield and Brownhills. Tamworth is about 33 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 you're covering pebble dash in Tamworth, we price both a render-over and an insulate-over option.

England: planning and regulations
For a house in Tamworth, 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.
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.
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 Tamworth: 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.
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.
Will the stones show through?
No. A levelling base coat with mesh fills over the stones before the finish goes on.
