Before we quote in Renfrew
As well as Renfrew itself, we quote in Clydebank, Paisley and Bearsden. Renfrew sits around 5 miles from 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 period homes in Renfrew, we look for cement patching that may be trapping moisture before suggesting lime.

Scotland: planning and regulations
Scottish householder rules mean many Renfrew 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 Renfrew work, it's obtained before installation starts, and the quote says who arranges it.
Can lime render be insulated?
Yes, using wood fibre boards or insulating lime plasters. These keep the wall breathable while reducing heat loss.

Lime render in Renfrew: questions
Can lime render be applied in winter?
Only with protection and in frost-free conditions. Spring to early autumn is the usual season.
Is lime render more expensive?
Usually, because it's applied in coats by hand and needs more curing time.
Should I remove cement render from my stone house?
If it's cracked, hollow or trapping damp, often yes. If it's sound and the wall is dry, it may be left. The survey looks at both.
Do you cover Renfrew?
