Local considerations in Kelso
As well as Kelso itself, we quote in Galashiels, Hawick and Peebles. Kelso sits around 18 miles from Hawick. 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 Kelso can combine crack repairs with replacing rusted beads at corners and window edges.

Planning and building control in Scotland
Small repairs and cleaning in Kelso normally need no approvals. Listed buildings are the exception — even minor external work can need consent.
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 Kelso: questions
Do you repair EWI as well as render?
Yes — see EWI repairs. The method differs because there's insulation behind the render.
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.
Do you cover Kelso?
Yes — we survey and quote render repairs in Kelso (TD5) and nearby Galashiels, Hawick and Peebles, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
