What we look for in Bromsgrove
As well as Bromsgrove itself, we quote in Redditch, Droitwich and Halesowen. Bromsgrove is about 12 miles from Worcester. 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 Worcestershire 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.
If you're covering pebble dash in Bromsgrove, we price both a render-over and an insulate-over option.

England: planning and regulations
Planning in Bromsgrove follows England's national rules: similar-looking finishes on houses are usually permitted, while flats, commercial premises, conservation areas and streets under an Article 4 direction need an application.
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 Bromsgrove: 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.
