Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Edinburgh and the Lothians: 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.

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.
What causes render to crack?
Common causes are a render mix too strong for the wall, missing or corroded beads, water getting in at cills and copings, building movement, and render applied in poor weather. Fine surface crazing is usually cosmetic; wider cracks, stepped cracks or bulging need investigating before patching.

Render repairs in Musselburgh: questions
How soon can repairs be done?
Small repairs can usually be booked once a dry weather window is forecast.
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.
