Rendering garden, boundary and retaining walls with correct coping and weathering detail.
If you are weighing up garden & boundary walls in Cumbernauld, the starting point is what your walls are actually built from.
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.
The area sees wet with cold winters and frost cycling, which is the single biggest factor in how long any render lasts here. Glasgow's sandstone tenements were harled traditionally, and the cement repairs applied in the twentieth century are now the main source of failure.

FAQs
Garden & Boundary Walls in Cumbernauld
Should both sides of a garden wall be rendered?
Yes, wherever possible. Rendering one face only lets water in through the other and trap it behind the rendered side.
Do retaining walls need special treatment?
Yes. Retaining walls hold back saturated ground, so drainage behind the wall must be working before rendering. Otherwise trapped water pushes the render off.
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.
