Chimney Rendering in Rutherglen
Rendering, repointing and weatherproofing chimney stacks — the most exposed masonry on any house.
Our chimney rendering work in Rutherglen starts with a free survey, because guessing at a render specification is how jobs go wrong.
Across Lanarkshire, sandstone tenements, Victorian terraces and large postwar estates dominates, and tenement harling repair and failed cement render on sandstone is what we are called out to most often.
With wet with cold winters and frost cycling, specification matters more in this part of the country than a national price list suggests. 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 Rutherglen
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, with teams across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. If we are not the right firm for your location we will tell you rather than waste your time.
Why is my chimney causing damp?
Water enters through failed flaunching, cracked render, open pointing or defective flashings, then runs down inside the flue and shows as staining on a chimney breast, often on the floor below.
What is flaunching?
The mortar fillet that beds the chimney pots into the top of the stack and sheds water off it. It cracks and fails with age and is a very common leak point.
How much does rendering cost?
It is priced by the square metre and depends on the system, the condition of the walls and access. Our guide-price tool gives an indicative range in about a minute, and the survey turns that into a fixed written quote.
Do you offer a guarantee?
Yes. Every job carries our workmanship guarantee, and where a full manufacturer-specified system is installed you also get the system warranty on top.
