Before we quote in Perth
As well as Perth itself, we quote in Blairgowrie, Crieff and Glenrothes. Tayside has stone tenements and terraces in the towns, harled cottages and post-war estates.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Perth and Kinross: 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.
If you're re-rendering in Perth, we'll show you what adding insulation under the silicone would cost at the same time.

Planning and building control in Scotland
For Perth properties, flats and tenements need planning permission for external insulation, and a noticeable change of finish on a house often does too under Scottish rules.
Scotland's building standards cover changes to external wall construction; we check whether your job in Perth 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 Perth: questions
Can I paint silicone render later?
Yes, with a compatible silicone paint, though through-coloured render rarely needs it.
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.
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.
Do you cover Perth?
Yes — we survey and quote silicone render in Perth (PH1) and nearby Blairgowrie, Crieff and Glenrothes, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
