Halesowen: walls, weather and approvals
We cover Halesowen and nearby Brierley Hill, Dudley and Stourbridge. It's roughly 7 miles from Halesowen to Birmingham, the largest town in West Midlands. 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.
Much of West Midlands sits in the lower wind-driven rain exposure bands, which keeps the choice of finishes wide — though hilltop, coastal and exposed gable walls can still need a tougher specification, so we check the actual site.
Before quoting Halesowen pebble dash jobs, we tap-test each elevation and mark any hollow areas.

Permissions in England
Before quoting in Halesowen, 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.
When does pebble dash need removing?
Where it's widely hollow, cracked or letting water in, or where the wall underneath needs to be inspected or repaired. Removal is dusty and noisy and can damage the face of soft bricks, so it's not the default.

Cover pebble dash in Halesowen: questions
Will the stones show through?
No. A levelling base coat with mesh fills over the stones before the finish goes on.
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.
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.

Yes — we survey and quote pebble dash covering in Halesowen (B63) and nearby Brierley Hill, Dudley and Stourbridge, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
