Stornoway: walls, weather and approvals
Surveys in Stornoway (HS1) are arranged around travel to the wider Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles. The Highlands and Islands have many exposed stone and harled homes, timber-framed houses and scattered rural properties.
Parts of Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles 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.
We show acrylic and silicone side by side at Stornoway surveys so you can see the difference in texture.

Planning and building control in Scotland
Scottish householder rules mean many Stornoway jobs that change the outside of a house need a planning application; we confirm the position before quoting.
Where a building warrant is needed for Stornoway work, it's obtained before installation starts, and the quote says who arranges it.
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 Stornoway: 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 I have a dark colour?
Yes, though very dark shades absorb more heat; the manufacturer's colour guidance is followed.
Do you cover Stornoway?
Yes — we survey and quote acrylic render in Stornoway (HS1); island and remote addresses are surveyed by arrangement, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
