Before we quote in Forres
We cover Forres and nearby Nairn, Elgin and Lossiemouth. Forres is about 11 miles from Elgin. North East Scotland has granite and stone-built homes, harled cottages and post-war estates, with exposed coastal settings along much of it.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Moray: 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.
We show acrylic and silicone side by side at Forres surveys so you can see the difference in texture.

Planning and building control in Scotland
Scottish householder rules mean many Forres 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.
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 Forres: 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.
