Homes and walls in Peebles
Surveys in Peebles also cover the surrounding EH45 district and towns such as Galashiels and Musselburgh. It's roughly 22 miles from Peebles to Hawick, the largest town in Scottish Borders. The Scottish Borders have stone-built towns and villages, rural cottages and some post-war estates.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Scottish Borders: 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 Peebles surveys so you can see the difference in texture.

Approvals in Scotland
Scottish householder rules mean many Peebles 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 Peebles: questions
Does acrylic render attract dirt?
It can hold dirt slightly more than silicone over time. Occasional gentle cleaning keeps it bright.
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.
