Local considerations in Lerwick
Surveys in Lerwick (ZE1) are arranged around travel to the wider Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles. The Highlands and Islands have many exposed stone and harled homes, timber-framed houses and scattered rural properties.
Parts of Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles 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 Lerwick homes with faded render, we price a clean and a clean-and-refresh option.

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.
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.

Will the green come back?
The biocide slows regrowth considerably, but shaded, damp walls can need retreating every few years.

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.
