What we look for in Forth Valley
East Central Scotland mixes stone tenements and terraces with post-war council housing and harled bungalows and semis.

For Forth Valley 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 Forth Valley: questions
Can faded render be refreshed?
Yes — a compatible silicone paint restores colour without making the wall less breathable.
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.
Do you cover all of Forth Valley?
Yes. We survey and quote render cleaning across Forth Valley, including Stirling, Falkirk, Alloa.
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.
