Local considerations in Bognor Regis
Surveys in Bognor Regis also cover the surrounding PO21 district and towns such as Chichester and Littlehampton. It's roughly 31 miles from Bognor Regis to Crawley, the largest town in West Sussex. Homes across the South East range from inter-war semis and post-war estates, which are mostly cavity-walled, to older solid-walled cottages and Victorian town terraces.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across West Sussex: 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 Bognor Regis, we price both a render-over and an insulate-over option.

Planning and building control in England
Before quoting in Bognor Regis, 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.
If the work covers more than half of a wall, or a quarter of the building's whole envelope, it counts as renovating a thermal element, with a target of about 0.30 W/m²K where feasible.
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 Bognor Regis: 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.
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.
Do you cover Bognor Regis?
Yes — we survey and quote pebble dash covering in Bognor Regis (PO21) and nearby Chichester, Littlehampton and Worthing, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
