Homes and walls in Argyll and Bute
The Highlands and Islands have many exposed stone and harled homes, timber-framed houses and scattered rural properties.
Parts of Argyll and Bute 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.

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.
Will a repair be visible?
Patches in through-coloured render often show slightly, because the existing wall has weathered. Recoating the whole elevation with a compatible finish after repairs gives an even result, and we price that option.

Render repairs in Argyll and Bute: questions
Are hairline cracks a problem?
Fine crazing is often cosmetic. Cracks wider than about 1mm, stepped cracks or bulges should be checked, as water can get behind.
Can you match my existing render colour?
We get as close as possible, but weathered render rarely matches a new patch exactly. A full-elevation recoat gives an even finish.
How soon can repairs be done?
Small repairs can usually be booked once a dry weather window is forecast.
Do you cover all of Argyll and Bute?
Yes. We survey and quote render repairs across Argyll and Bute, including Helensburgh, Dunoon, Oban, Campbeltown. Island and remote addresses are surveyed by arrangement.
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.
