Local considerations in Bearsden
We cover Bearsden and nearby Clydebank, Renfrew and Bishopbriggs. It's roughly 5 miles from Bearsden to Glasgow, the largest town in Greater Glasgow. 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.
Parts of Greater Glasgow 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.
For houses in Bearsden with shallow eaves, the insulated render thickness is planned with the roofline in mind.

Approvals in Scotland
In Scotland, permitted development for external wall changes is narrower, so in Bearsden we check with the council's planning team where the appearance changes, and always for flats, tenements and conservation areas.
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.
What texture will it have?
Thin-coat renders come in grain sizes, typically 1–2mm. A 1.5mm grain is a common middle ground: fine enough to look smooth from the street, coarse enough to hide minor imperfections.

Insulated render in Bearsden: 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.
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.
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.
