Homes and walls in Briton Ferry
We cover Briton Ferry and nearby Neath, Port Talbot and Swansea. Briton Ferry is about 5 miles from Swansea. 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.
Silicone suits most rendering jobs in Briton Ferry, either on its own or over insulation.

Permissions in Wales
For homes in Briton Ferry, the local planning authority decides any borderline cases; changing a brick house to render, or work on flats, usually needs an application in Wales.
Building control in Wales applies to most insulation and re-rendering jobs of this size; the quote states who submits the notice.
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 Briton Ferry: 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.
