What we look for in East Kilbride
We cover East Kilbride and nearby Cambuslang, Rutherglen and Hamilton. West Central Scotland has sandstone tenements, interwar and post-war council housing including no-fines and other system-built types, and many harled (roughcast) houses.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Lanarkshire: 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 East Kilbride homes with older solid walls, we'll usually steer you to silicone or mineral finishes instead.

Planning and building control in Scotland
In Scotland, permitted development for external wall changes is narrower, so in East Kilbride we check with the council's planning team where the appearance changes, and always for flats, tenements and conservation areas.
Scotland's building standards cover changes to external wall construction; we check whether your job in East Kilbride needs a warrant.
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 East Kilbride: questions
How long does acrylic render last?
Typically 20–25 years or more with maintenance on a suitable wall.
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.
