Local considerations in Cwmbran
We cover Cwmbran and nearby Pontypool, Risca and Newport (Gwent). It's roughly 5 miles from Cwmbran to Newport (Gwent), the largest town in Gwent. South Wales has long runs of solid-wall valley terraces, Victorian and Edwardian town housing and post-war council estates.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Gwent: 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.
For Cwmbran re-render jobs, we check whether building control needs notifying for your wall area.

Wales: planning and regulations
For homes in Cwmbran, the local planning authority decides any borderline cases; changing a brick house to render, or work on flats, usually needs an application in Wales.
In Wales, insulating or re-rendering more than half of a wall's area is treated as renovating a thermal element under Approved Document L (Wales), so building control is involved before work starts.
Which new render should I choose?
On older solid walls, breathable lime or a mineral system is often safest. On sound modern masonry, silicone over a mesh base coat gives a durable, low-maintenance finish. If insulation is added, the finish is the one specified for the EWI system.

Re-rendering in Cwmbran: questions
How do I know if my render has failed?
Signs include cracks, hollow sound when tapped, bulging, pieces falling off, and damp patches inside behind cracked areas.
Can I re-render just one wall?
Yes, though matching colour and texture to the other walls may mean recoating them too.
Do I need building control for re-rendering?
In England and Wales, re-rendering more than half of a wall's area — or more than a quarter of the whole building's envelope — is controlled work under Part L, so usually yes. We explain how it's handled in the quote.
Do you cover Cwmbran?
Yes — we survey and quote re-rendering in Cwmbran (NP44) and nearby Pontypool, Risca and Newport (Gwent), with a fixed written price before any work starts.
