Before we quote in Dunoon
Surveys in Dunoon also cover the surrounding PA23 district and towns such as Greenock and Helensburgh. It's roughly 8 miles from Dunoon to Helensburgh, the largest town in Argyll and Bute. The Highlands and Islands have many exposed stone and harled homes, timber-framed houses and scattered rural properties.
Parts of Argyll and Bute 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 Dunoon homes with older solid walls, we'll usually steer you to silicone or mineral finishes instead.

Planning and building control in Scotland
Scottish householder rules mean many Dunoon jobs that change the outside of a house need a planning application; we confirm the position before quoting.
Over-cladding work in Scotland often needs a building warrant from the council's building standards service, with Section 6 of the Technical Handbooks setting insulation benchmarks.
Where does acrylic work best?
On extensions, boarded surfaces, new blockwork with a base coat, and sheltered elevations. It's also a common finish on park homes.

Acrylic render in Dunoon: questions
Can acrylic render go on a solid stone wall?
It's not our first choice there, because a vapour-open finish is safer on walls that need to breathe.
Can I have a dark colour?
Yes, though very dark shades absorb more heat; the manufacturer's colour guidance is followed.
Does acrylic render attract dirt?
It can hold dirt slightly more than silicone over time. Occasional gentle cleaning keeps it bright.
Do you cover Dunoon?
Yes — we survey and quote acrylic render in Dunoon (PA23) and nearby Greenock, Helensburgh and Clydebank, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
