What we look for in Stranraer
Surveys in Stranraer (DG9) are arranged around travel to the wider Dumfries and Galloway. South West Scotland has stone and harled houses, coastal towns and post-war council housing.
Parts of Dumfries and Galloway 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.
On older houses in Stranraer, stripping old render often reveals mortar repairs that are best done before re-rendering.

Scotland: planning and regulations
In Scotland, permitted development for external wall changes is narrower, so in Stranraer we check with the council's planning team where the appearance changes, and always for flats, tenements and conservation areas.
Where a building warrant is needed for Stranraer 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 Stranraer: 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.
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.
Can I re-render just one wall?
Yes, though matching colour and texture to the other walls may mean recoating them too.
Do you cover Stranraer?
Yes — we survey and quote re-rendering in Stranraer (DG9); island and remote addresses are surveyed by arrangement, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
