From Irvine to Kilmarnock, we price silicone render after a measured survey — no guesswork, and no work starts until the price is agreed in writing. If you're re-rendering in Irvine, we'll show you what adding insulation under the silicone would cost at the same time.

What we look for in Irvine
As well as Irvine itself, we quote in Kilmarnock, Ayr and Newton Mearns. Irvine sits around 6 miles from Kilmarnock. South West Scotland has stone and harled houses, coastal towns and post-war council housing.
Parts of Ayrshire 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.
Silicone suits most rendering jobs in Irvine, either on its own or over insulation.

Planning and building control in Scotland
In Scotland, permitted development for external wall changes is narrower, so in Irvine we check with the council's planning team where the appearance changes, and always for flats, tenements and conservation areas.
Scotland's building standards cover changes to external wall construction; we check whether your job in Irvine needs a warrant.
How is silicone render applied?
On masonry, the wall is prepared and any loose material removed. A base coat with glass-fibre mesh is applied over the whole wall to resist cracking, followed by a primer and the silicone finish, trowelled to its grain size. On EWI, the same base coat, primer and finish go over the insulation boards.

Silicone render in Irvine: questions
How long does silicone render take to dry?
It's touch-dry within hours but needs dry weather above about 5°C for the first day or two to cure properly.
Can silicone render go over old render?
If the old render is sound and well bonded, often yes after cleaning and priming. Hollow or cracked areas are cut out and repaired first.
Does silicone render crack?
The mesh-reinforced base coat and the render's flexibility make cracking much less likely than with sand and cement, but structural movement in the wall can still show through.
