Permissions in England
Before quoting in Walton-on-Thames, 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.

Cover pebble dash in Walton-on-Thames: questions
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.
Is it cheaper to cover pebble dash or remove it?
Covering is usually cheaper and less disruptive, as long as the dash is sound.
Will the stones show through?
No. A levelling base coat with mesh fills over the stones before the finish goes on.
