What we look for in Rhosllanerchrugog

Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Clwyd: 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.
For period homes in Rhosllanerchrugog, the survey looks closely at existing lime mortars and any cement patching that may trap moisture.

Permissions in Wales
Householder rules in Wales are similar to England's: in Rhosllanerchrugog, a similar-looking finish on a house is often permitted, but conservation areas, flats and listed buildings need permission or consent.
Welsh Building Regulations expect walls to be upgraded when a substantial area is renewed, and building control signs the work off.
What finish goes over wood fibre?
A lime-based or mineral render designed for the system, applied over a reinforcing base coat. Lime finishes give the softer, slightly irregular texture that suits cottages and older terraces.

Wood fibre EWI in Rhosllanerchrugog: questions
Can wood fibre go on a stone wall?
Yes, after levelling. Rubble stone is often uneven, so a levelling coat or adapted fixing method is used first.
Is wood fibre worth the extra cost?
On older solid walls the main benefit is moisture safety rather than raw U-value. If the wall needs to breathe, the cheaper option can cost more later.
Is wood fibre insulation fireproof?
No — it's a timber product. It chars rather than flaming readily, but it is combustible, so it's used on low-rise buildings within a tested system and never where non-combustible materials are required.
