Local considerations in East Kilbride
Surveys in East Kilbride also cover the surrounding G74 district and towns such as Cambuslang and Rutherglen. 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.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Lanarkshire: 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.
If you're covering pebble dash in East Kilbride, we price both a render-over and an insulate-over option.

Approvals in Scotland
Scottish householder rules mean many East Kilbride 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.
When does pebble dash need removing?
Where it's widely hollow, cracked or letting water in, or where the wall underneath needs to be inspected or repaired. Removal is dusty and noisy and can damage the face of soft bricks, so it's not the default.

Cover pebble dash in East Kilbride: questions
Is it cheaper to cover pebble dash or remove it?
Covering is usually cheaper and less disruptive, as long as the dash is sound.
Will the stones show through?
No. A levelling base coat with mesh fills over the stones before the finish goes on.
Can I paint pebble dash instead?
You can, but it doesn't fix hollow areas or cracks, and paint on dash often needs redoing every few years.
