Damp-Proof Render in Renfrewshire
Specialist waterproof and salt-resistant render systems for damp-affected and below-ground walls.
Getting damp-proof render right in Renfrewshire depends far more on the substrate and the exposure than on the product name.
Most of what we see around Renfrewshire reflects the wider Renfrewshire pattern — sandstone tenements, Victorian terraces and postwar estates, and tenement harling and render failure on sandstone terraces. With wet with strong exposure along the Clyde, specification matters more in this part of the country than a national price list suggests.
Local factor. Clyde-side exposure and high rainfall mean west-facing tenement elevations here weather considerably faster than sheltered ones.
Is damp-proof render right for a Renfrewshire property?
Choose a damp-proof system after flooding, alongside DPC works, on below-ground walls, and wherever salt contamination is destroying normal plaster.
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
Damp-Proof Render in Renfrewshire — questions
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.
How long before I can decorate?
Allow a minimum of several weeks for the wall to dry, longer after flooding. Decorating too early traps moisture and the finish fails.
