Homes and walls in Dunoon
We also cover Greenock and Helensburgh, close to Dunoon. Dunoon is about 8 miles from Helensburgh. The Highlands and Islands have many exposed stone and harled homes, timber-framed houses and scattered rural properties.
Parts of Argyll and Bute 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.
When Dunoon homeowners ask for re-rendering, we price an insulated option alongside so the choice is clear.

Scotland: planning and regulations
For Dunoon properties, flats and tenements need planning permission for external insulation, and a noticeable change of finish on a house often does too under Scottish rules.
Where a building warrant is needed for Dunoon work, it's obtained before installation starts, and the quote says who arranges it.
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 Dunoon: questions
Can I re-render just one wall?
Yes, though matching colour and texture to the other walls may mean recoating them too.
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.
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.
