Dumfries and Galloway: walls, weather and approvals
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.
We clean render in Dumfries and Galloway with low pressure only, so thin-coat and EWI finishes aren't damaged.

Permissions in Scotland
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 Dumfries and Galloway: questions
Do you need scaffolding?
Usually not for a two-storey house; poles and low-pressure equipment reach most walls.
Will the green come back?
The biocide slows regrowth considerably, but shaded, damp walls can need retreating every few years.
Can faded render be refreshed?
Yes — a compatible silicone paint restores colour without making the wall less breathable.
Do you cover all of Dumfries and Galloway?
Yes. We survey and quote render cleaning across Dumfries and Galloway, including Dumfries, Stranraer, Annan.
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.
