Commercial Rendering in Edinburgh
Commercial and industrial rendering for blocks, retail units, schools and new-build developments.
Our commercial rendering work in Edinburgh starts with a free survey, because guessing at a render specification is how jobs go wrong.
Most of what we see around Edinburgh reflects the wider Midlothian pattern — Georgian and Victorian stone terraces, tenements and modern estates, and conservation lime work on Edinburgh stone and harling repair.
With cold easterly exposure with frequent frost, specification matters more in this part of the country than a national price list suggests. Edinburgh's world heritage core carries some of the strictest conservation requirements in britain, and only lime specifications will get consent.
When commercial rendering is the right call. Choose us for contract work where system compliance, documentation and programme certainty matter as much as the finish quality.

FAQs
Commercial Rendering in Edinburgh
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.
Can you work on occupied buildings?
Yes. We phase works around occupancy on schools, retail and residential blocks, and agree access, working hours and site security arrangements in advance.
