Commercial Rendering in Midlothian
Commercial and industrial rendering for blocks, retail units, schools and new-build developments.
Our commercial rendering work in Midlothian starts with a free survey, because guessing at a render specification is how jobs go wrong.
Across Midlothian, Georgian and Victorian stone terraces, tenements and modern estates dominates, and conservation lime work on Edinburgh stone and harling repair is what we are called out to most often. With cold easterly exposure with frequent frost, specification matters more in this part of the country than a national price list suggests.
Local factor. Edinburgh's world heritage core carries some of the strictest conservation requirements in britain, and only lime specifications will get consent.
Is commercial rendering right for a Midlothian property?
Choose us for contract work where system compliance, documentation and programme certainty matter as much as the finish quality.
That decision gets made at the survey, not on the phone. We will tell you plainly if a different system would serve the building better — including when a cheaper one would.

FAQs
Commercial Rendering in Midlothian — questions
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.
How long before I can paint new render?
Through-coloured systems need no painting at all. Sand and cement should cure for around 28 days before masonry paint goes anywhere near it.
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.
