What we look for in Llandrindod Wells
Surveys in Llandrindod Wells also cover the surrounding LD1 district and towns such as Newtown and Brecon. Llandrindod Wells is about 19 miles from Newtown. Mid Wales is largely rural, with stone farmhouses, cottages and market-town terraces, many of them solid-walled.
Parts of Powys 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.
For older stone and early brick properties in Llandrindod Wells, we look at a wood fibre and lime build-up first.

Approvals in Wales
For homes in Llandrindod Wells, 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.
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 Llandrindod Wells: questions
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.
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.
Does wood fibre need a lime render?
It needs the render specified by the system manufacturer, which is usually lime or mineral based.
Do you cover Llandrindod Wells?
Yes — we survey and quote wood fibre external wall insulation in Llandrindod Wells (LD1) and nearby Newtown, Brecon and Welshpool, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
