Aberdare, Mid Glamorgan
Damp-Proof Render in Aberdare
Specialist waterproof and salt-resistant render systems for damp-affected and below-ground walls.
Getting damp-proof render right in Aberdare depends far more on the substrate and the exposure than on the product name.
Across Mid Glamorgan, valley terraces, former colliery housing and modern estates dominates, and pebbledash and cement render failure on valley terraces is what we are called out to most often.
Aberdare sits in a part of the UK that gets high rainfall in sheltered but damp valley locations — worth factoring into any render decision. Much of the terraced stock was rendered in cement during the 1960s and 70s and is now failing en masse across the valleys.
When damp-proof render is the right call. Choose a damp-proof system after flooding, alongside DPC works, on below-ground walls, and wherever salt contamination is destroying normal plaster.

FAQs
Damp-Proof Render in Aberdare
Can you render over existing render?
Sometimes, if the existing coat is completely sound and well-bonded. We hammer-test it first. Anything hollow has to come off, because covering failure just hides it.
Are you insured?
Yes — full public liability cover, and we can send the certificate before we start. We are happy to provide RAMS for commercial and contractor work.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, with teams across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. If we are not the right firm for your location we will tell you rather than waste your time.
Does damp-proof render cure rising damp?
No — it manages the consequences. The damp-proof course or the source of water has to be dealt with separately. The render then holds back residual moisture and salts while the wall dries.
Is waterproof render the same as tanking?
Related but not the same. Tanking is a higher-specification below-ground system designed to resist water under pressure; waterproof render is for above-ground damp resistance.
