Homes and walls in Dunoon
As well as Dunoon itself, we quote in Greenock, Helensburgh and Clydebank. Dunoon sits around 8 miles from Helensburgh. The Highlands and Islands have many exposed stone and harled homes, timber-framed houses and scattered rural properties.
Parts of Argyll and Bute 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 bring finish samples to Dunoon surveys so colours can be judged in daylight against your roof and windows.

Approvals in Scotland
Scottish householder rules mean many Dunoon 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.
Can I choose two colours?
Yes. Many owners pick a main colour with a contrasting plinth, entrance surround or bay. Feature bands and recessed details can be formed in the insulation before rendering.

Insulated render in Dunoon: questions
Will my house look different?
Yes, if it was brick or pebble dash. If you want to keep a brick look, a brick-slip finish over the insulation is an option.
Does insulated render need painting?
Through-coloured silicone and acrylic renders don't need painting. Mineral renders are usually painted with a compatible masonry paint.
How long does insulated render last?
Typically 25–30 years or more with maintenance; the manufacturer's documentation sets the service life for the specific system.
