Homes and walls in Crieff

Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Perth and Kinross: 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.
Lime work in Crieff is scheduled for frost-free months so the render cures properly.

Planning and building control in Scotland
Scottish householder rules mean many Crieff 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 Crieff 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 Crieff: questions
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.
Is lime render more expensive?
Usually, because it's applied in coats by hand and needs more curing time.
Can lime render be applied in winter?
Only with protection and in frost-free conditions. Spring to early autumn is the usual season.
