Rendering in Coatbridge

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

The prevailing picture in Lanarkshire is sandstone tenements, Victorian terraces and large postwar estates. That means tenement harling repair and failed cement render on sandstone comes up more here than almost anywhere else.

Coatbridge sits in a part of the UK that gets wet with cold winters and frost cycling — worth factoring into any render decision. Glasgow's sandstone tenements were harled traditionally, and the cement repairs applied in the twentieth century are now the main source of failure.

How we approach a job in Coatbridge

Every Coatbridge 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.
