Local considerations in Kilmarnock
Surveys in Kilmarnock also cover the surrounding KA3 district and towns such as Irvine and Ayr. South West Scotland has stone and harled houses, coastal towns and post-war council housing.
Parts of Ayrshire 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 Kilmarnock homes with older solid walls, we'll usually steer you to silicone or mineral finishes instead.

Permissions in Scotland
In Scotland, permitted development for external wall changes is narrower, so in Kilmarnock we check with the council's planning team where the appearance changes, and always for flats, tenements and conservation areas.
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.
Acrylic or silicone?
Both are thin-coat, through-coloured finishes. Acrylic is more flexible and slightly cheaper; silicone is more water-repellent and vapour-open and generally stays cleaner. On older solid walls that need to breathe, silicone or mineral finishes are usually preferred.

Acrylic render in Kilmarnock: questions
How long does acrylic render last?
Typically 20–25 years or more with maintenance on a suitable wall.
Does acrylic render attract dirt?
It can hold dirt slightly more than silicone over time. Occasional gentle cleaning keeps it bright.
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.
