What we look for in Aberdeen
We also cover Inverurie and Peterhead, close to Aberdeen. North East Scotland has granite and stone-built homes, harled cottages and post-war estates, with exposed coastal settings along much of it.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire: 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.
For Aberdeen re-render jobs, we check whether building control needs notifying for your wall area.

Approvals in Scotland
In Scotland, permitted development for external wall changes is narrower, so in Aberdeen we check with the council's planning team where the appearance changes, and always for flats, tenements and conservation areas.
Scotland's building standards cover changes to external wall construction; we check whether your job in Aberdeen needs a warrant.
Which new render should I choose?
On older solid walls, breathable lime or a mineral system is often safest. On sound modern masonry, silicone over a mesh base coat gives a durable, low-maintenance finish. If insulation is added, the finish is the one specified for the EWI system.

Re-rendering in Aberdeen: questions
How do I know if my render has failed?
Signs include cracks, hollow sound when tapped, bulging, pieces falling off, and damp patches inside behind cracked areas.
Can I re-render just one wall?
Yes, though matching colour and texture to the other walls may mean recoating them too.
Is it worth adding insulation?
On solid or concrete walls it's usually the most cost-effective time to do it, because access and preparation are already paid for.
Do you cover Aberdeen?
Yes — we survey and quote re-rendering in Aberdeen (AB10) and nearby Inverurie, Peterhead and Montrose, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
