Local considerations in Abergavenny
Surveys in Abergavenny also cover the surrounding NP7 district and towns such as Pontypool and Ebbw Vale. Abergavenny is about 16 miles from Newport (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.
If you're re-rendering in Abergavenny, we'll show you what adding insulation under the silicone would cost at the same time.

Permissions in Wales
For homes in Abergavenny, 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.
How is silicone render applied?
On masonry, the wall is prepared and any loose material removed. A base coat with glass-fibre mesh is applied over the whole wall to resist cracking, followed by a primer and the silicone finish, trowelled to its grain size. On EWI, the same base coat, primer and finish go over the insulation boards.

Silicone render in Abergavenny: questions
Does silicone render crack?
The mesh-reinforced base coat and the render's flexibility make cracking much less likely than with sand and cement, but structural movement in the wall can still show through.
Can I paint silicone render later?
Yes, with a compatible silicone paint, though through-coloured render rarely needs it.
Can silicone render go over old render?
If the old render is sound and well bonded, often yes after cleaning and priming. Hollow or cracked areas are cut out and repaired first.
Do you cover Abergavenny?
Yes — we survey and quote silicone render in Abergavenny (NP7) and nearby Pontypool, Ebbw Vale and Cwmbran, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
