What we look for in Kirkwall
We cover Kirkwall and the wider Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles; island and remote addresses are surveyed by arrangement. 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.
If repairs in Kirkwall would leave obvious patches, we price an elevation recoat as an option.

Permissions in Scotland
Small repairs and cleaning in Kirkwall normally need no approvals. Listed buildings are the exception — even minor external work can need consent.
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 Kirkwall: questions
How soon can repairs be done?
Small repairs can usually be booked once a dry weather window is forecast.
Do you repair EWI as well as render?
Yes — see EWI repairs. The method differs because there's insulation behind the render.
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 Kirkwall?
Yes — we survey and quote render repairs in Kirkwall (KW15); island and remote addresses are surveyed by arrangement, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
