Before we quote in Lerwick
Surveys in Lerwick (ZE1) are arranged around travel to the wider Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles. 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.
Repair visits in Lerwick can combine crack repairs with replacing rusted beads at corners and window edges.

Scotland: planning and regulations
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 Lerwick: 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.
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 Lerwick?
Yes — we survey and quote render repairs in Lerwick (ZE1); island and remote addresses are surveyed by arrangement, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
