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

Permissions in Scotland
In Scotland, permitted development for external wall changes is narrower, so in East Kilbride we check with the council's planning team where the appearance changes, and always for flats, tenements and conservation areas.
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.
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 East Kilbride: 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 East Kilbride?
Yes — we survey and quote re-rendering in East Kilbride (G74) and nearby Cambuslang, Rutherglen and Hamilton, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
