Local considerations in Scottish Borders
The Scottish Borders have stone-built towns and villages, rural cottages and some post-war estates.
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.
Repair visits in Scottish Borders can combine crack repairs with replacing rusted beads at corners and window edges.

Permissions in Scotland
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 Scottish Borders: 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.
Do you repair EWI as well as render?
Yes — see EWI repairs. The method differs because there's insulation behind the render.
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.
Do you cover all of Scottish Borders?
Yes. We survey and quote render repairs across Scottish Borders, including Hawick, Galashiels, Peebles, Kelso.
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.
