West Glamorgan: walls, weather and approvals
South Wales has long runs of solid-wall valley terraces, Victorian and Edwardian town housing and post-war council estates.
Parts of West 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.
If repairs in West Glamorgan would leave obvious patches, we price an elevation recoat as an option.

Wales: planning and regulations
Repairs, cleaning and like-for-like patching don't usually need planning permission or building control. If repairs grow into re-rendering more than half of a wall, Building Regulations energy rules can apply.
Listed buildings are the exception: even small external repairs can need listed building consent, so tell us if your property is listed.
What causes render to crack?
Common causes are a render mix too strong for the wall, missing or corroded beads, water getting in at cills and copings, building movement, and render applied in poor weather. Fine surface crazing is usually cosmetic; wider cracks, stepped cracks or bulging need investigating before patching.

Render repairs in West Glamorgan: questions
Can you match my existing render colour?
We get as close as possible, but weathered render rarely matches a new patch exactly. A full-elevation recoat gives an even finish.
Are hairline cracks a problem?
Fine crazing is often cosmetic. Cracks wider than about 1mm, stepped cracks or bulges should be checked, as water can get behind.
Do you repair EWI as well as render?
Yes — see EWI repairs. The method differs because there's insulation behind the render.
Do you cover all of West Glamorgan?
Yes. We survey and quote render repairs across West Glamorgan, including Swansea, Neath, Briton Ferry, Port Talbot, Gorseinon.
Do I need planning permission in Wales?
Permitted development rules for houses in Wales are similar to England's: a similar-appearance finish on a house is often permitted, while conservation areas, National Parks, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, flats, commercial buildings and listed buildings need permission or consent.
