Rendering in Banchory

Render, repair, pebbledash removal and external wall insulation for Banchory homes — with a free survey before any price is quoted.

The prevailing picture in Aberdeenshire is granite terraces, farm cottages and exposed coastal housing. That means harling repair on granite and frost damage on exposed elevations comes up more here than almost anywhere else.

With cold, exposed North Sea conditions with severe frost, specification matters more in this part of the country than a national price list suggests. Aberdeen granite is dense and unforgiving, and traditional harling rather than smooth render is what has historically worked on it.

How we approach a job in Banchory

Every Banchory enquiry starts the same way: we come out, tap-test the existing coat, check the substrate behind it and look for the reason anything has failed. Blown render is nearly always a symptom — of a leaking gutter, a bridged damp course, a cracked sill or an over-strong mix — and re-rendering over an unresolved cause simply buys a couple of years.

If a cheaper specification would do the job, we will say so. If it would not, we will tell you why.
