What we look for in Fife
East Central Scotland mixes stone tenements and terraces with post-war council housing and harled bungalows and semis.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Fife: 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.
For Fife homes with faded render, we price a clean and a clean-and-refresh option.

Planning and building control 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 Fife: questions
Is render cleaning safe for EWI?
Yes, using low pressure and products suitable for thin-coat render.
Do you need scaffolding?
Usually not for a two-storey house; poles and low-pressure equipment reach most walls.
Can faded render be refreshed?
Yes — a compatible silicone paint restores colour without making the wall less breathable.
Do you cover all of Fife?
Yes. We survey and quote render cleaning across Fife, including Dunfermline, Kirkcaldy, Glenrothes.
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.
