Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Scottish Borders: 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 Galashiels homes with faded render, we price a clean and a clean-and-refresh option.

Scotland: planning and regulations
Most repair and maintenance work needs no planning application. We'll tell you if the scope grows to the point where the council needs to be involved.
Why not pressure wash render?
Thin-coat renders are only 1–2mm thick. High-pressure jetting can erode the texture, strip colour, force water behind beads and cracks, and damage the insulation system underneath. A soft wash uses chemistry rather than pressure to do the work.

Render cleaning in Galashiels: questions
Will the green come back?
The biocide slows regrowth considerably, but shaded, damp walls can need retreating every few years.
Is render cleaning safe for EWI?
Yes, using low pressure and products suitable for thin-coat render.
Can faded render be refreshed?
Yes — a compatible silicone paint restores colour without making the wall less breathable.
Do you cover Galashiels?
Yes — we survey and quote render cleaning in Galashiels (TD1) and nearby Hawick, Kelso and Peebles, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
