Local considerations in Aberdare
As well as Aberdare itself, we quote in Rhondda, Merthyr Tydfil and Pontypridd. It's roughly 4 miles from Aberdare to Rhondda, the largest town in Mid Glamorgan. 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 tree-shaded or north-facing walls in Aberdare, silicone's water repellence helps it stay cleaner for longer.

Permissions in Wales
For homes in Aberdare, the local planning authority decides any borderline cases; changing a brick house to render, or work on flats, usually needs an application in Wales.
Welsh Building Regulations expect walls to be upgraded when a substantial area is renewed, and building control signs the work off.
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 Aberdare: questions
How long does silicone render take to dry?
It's touch-dry within hours but needs dry weather above about 5°C for the first day or two to cure properly.
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 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.
