Rhondda: walls, weather and approvals
As well as Rhondda itself, we quote in Aberdare, Pontypridd and Merthyr Tydfil. South Wales has long runs of solid-wall valley terraces, Victorian and Edwardian town housing and post-war council estates.
Parts of Mid Glamorgan fall in the higher wind-driven rain exposure bands, especially coastal and upland sites, so render specification, movement joints and detailing at cills, verges and the base of the wall matter more than usual.
On older houses in Rhondda, stripping old render often reveals mortar repairs that are best done before re-rendering.

Permissions in Wales
Householder rules in Wales are similar to England's: in Rhondda, a similar-looking finish on a house is often permitted, but conservation areas, flats and listed buildings need permission or consent.
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 Rhondda: questions
Is it worth adding insulation?
On solid or concrete walls it's usually the most cost-effective time to do it, because access and preparation are already paid for.
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 Rhondda?
Yes — we survey and quote re-rendering in Rhondda (CF42) and nearby Aberdare, Pontypridd and Merthyr Tydfil, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
