Chimney Rendering in Lanark
Rendering, repointing and weatherproofing chimney stacks — the most exposed masonry on any house.
Our chimney rendering work in Lanark starts with a free survey, because guessing at a render specification is how jobs go wrong.
Lanarkshire is characterised by sandstone tenements, Victorian terraces and large postwar estates, with tenement harling repair and failed cement render on sandstone the recurring theme on the properties we survey.
Local conditions bring wet with cold winters and frost cycling, and that has a direct bearing on which systems are worth specifying. Glasgow's sandstone tenements were harled traditionally, and the cement repairs applied in the twentieth century are now the main source of failure.
When chimney rendering is the right call. Choose chimney rendering where a stack is spalling, the pointing has failed, or damp is showing in upstairs rooms near a chimney breast.

FAQs
Chimney Rendering in Lanark
Do you take a deposit?
For most domestic jobs we take a deposit to cover materials and scaffold, with the balance on completion. Terms are set out clearly in the written quote.
Can you match my existing render?
Usually, yes. We colour and texture match as closely as we can, though weathered render never matches a fresh batch exactly — we will be honest about how visible a patch will be.
Should a chimney be rendered or repointed?
Repointing suits a stack in reasonable condition. Rendering is better where brickwork has spalled or is badly weathered, as it gives a continuous weatherproof skin.
Do you need scaffolding for chimney work?
Usually yes, for safe access and to work properly. On some stacks a roof ladder and tower arrangement is sufficient — we confirm at survey.
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.
