Before we quote in Argyll and Bute
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.
For Argyll and Bute homes with faded render, we price a clean and a clean-and-refresh option.

Scotland: planning and regulations
Repairs, cleaning and like-for-like patching don't usually need planning permission. If the work grows into replacing most of a wall's render, we check with the council's building standards or building control team first.
Listed buildings are the exception: even small external repairs can need listed building consent, so tell us if your property is listed.
How long does cleaned render stay clean?
It depends on shade, trees and exposure. Many walls stay clean for several years after a biocide treatment. North-facing, shaded and damp walls may need treating more often.

Render cleaning in Argyll and Bute: questions
Can faded render be refreshed?
Yes — a compatible silicone paint restores colour without making the wall less breathable.
Will the green come back?
The biocide slows regrowth considerably, but shaded, damp walls can need retreating every few years.
Do you need scaffolding?
Usually not for a two-storey house; poles and low-pressure equipment reach most walls.
Do you cover all of Argyll and Bute?
Yes. We survey and quote render cleaning across Argyll and Bute, including Helensburgh, Dunoon, Oban, Campbeltown. Island and remote addresses are surveyed by arrangement.
Do I need planning permission 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. We check your address before quoting.
