Aberdeenshire

Rendering in Peterhead

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

Most of what we see around Peterhead reflects the wider Aberdeenshire pattern — granite terraces, farm cottages and exposed coastal housing, and harling repair on granite and frost damage on exposed elevations.

Local conditions bring cold, exposed North Sea conditions with severe frost, and that has a direct bearing on which systems are worth specifying. 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 Peterhead

Every Peterhead 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.
