Lanarkshire: walls, weather and approvals
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.
On older houses in Lanarkshire, stripping old render often reveals mortar repairs that are best done before re-rendering.

Approvals in Scotland
In Scotland, householder permitted development rights are set by the Scottish GPDO and are narrower for external wall changes; insulating flats or tenements, changing the appearance of a house noticeably, or working in a conservation area usually needs planning permission. Listed buildings need listed building consent. Ask your council's planning team before committing.
Work that alters an external wall's construction is covered by the building standards system; many over-cladding projects need a building warrant from the council's building standards team, and Section 6 (Energy) of the Technical Handbooks sets insulation benchmarks.
What's involved in stripping old render?
The render is hacked off, usually with breakers, and the debris bagged or skipped. The wall is then inspected: loose bricks, eroded mortar and damp spots are repaired, and the surface is prepared to suit the new system.

Re-rendering in Lanarkshire: 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 all of Lanarkshire?
Yes. We survey and quote re-rendering across Lanarkshire, including East Kilbride, Hamilton, Cumbernauld, Coatbridge, Airdrie.
Do I need planning permission in Scotland?
