What we look for in Stornoway
We cover Stornoway 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 Stornoway would leave obvious patches, we price an elevation recoat as an option.

Planning and building control in Scotland
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.
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 Stornoway: questions
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.
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 Stornoway?
Yes — we survey and quote render repairs in Stornoway (HS1); island and remote addresses are surveyed by arrangement, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
