Moffat, Dumfries and Galloway
Lime Render in Moffat
Breathable hydraulic and hot-mixed lime render for period, listed and solid-wall properties.
Our lime render work in Moffat starts with a free survey, because guessing at a render specification is how jobs go wrong.
Dumfries and Galloway is characterised by sandstone cottages, farm buildings and rural housing, with harling repair on rural stone and driving rain penetration the recurring theme on the properties we survey.
With wet with exposed conditions on the Solway coast, specification matters more in this part of the country than a national price list suggests. The solway coast is exposed and the county is overwhelmingly rural solid-wall stone, which puts breathability ahead of appearance in most specifications.
When lime render is the right call. Choose lime for any pre-1919, listed, stone, cob or solid-wall property — and wherever a conservation officer is involved.

FAQs
Lime Render in Moffat
Is lime render suitable for listed buildings?
Yes, and it is usually required. We work to conservation specifications and can supply mix details and samples for listed building consent.
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.
