Greenock, Renfrewshire
Acrylic Render in Greenock
Tough, flexible acrylic thin-coat render with excellent colour retention and impact resistance.
We carry out acrylic render across Greenock and the surrounding Renfrewshire area throughout the year.
The prevailing picture in Renfrewshire is sandstone tenements, Victorian terraces and postwar estates. That means tenement harling and render failure on sandstone terraces comes up more here than almost anywhere else.
With wet with strong exposure along the Clyde, specification matters more in this part of the country than a national price list suggests. Clyde-side exposure and high rainfall mean west-facing tenement elevations here weather considerably faster than sheltered ones.
When acrylic render is the right call. Choose acrylic where impact resistance and colour retention matter more than maximum breathability — cavity walls, boards and EWI rather than solid stone.

FAQs
Acrylic Render in Greenock
Can acrylic render be used on old solid walls?
We generally advise against it. Solid walls need to breathe, and acrylic's lower vapour permeability can trap moisture. Silicone or lime is the better route there.
How thick is acrylic render?
The decorative topcoat is 1.5mm or 2mm depending on grain size, applied over a reinforced basecoat of around 6mm.
How long does a rendering job take?
A typical three-bedroom semi is usually one to two weeks on site including scaffold, preparation, application and finishing. Weather, wall condition and the system chosen all move that.
Do I need planning permission to render my house?
Usually not on a standard house, but you will if the property is listed, in a conservation area, or if rendering would significantly change its appearance. We flag it at survey.
Will you need scaffolding?
For anything above single storey, yes — it is safer and produces a better finish than working off ladders or towers. Scaffold is included and itemised in the quote.
