Lime Render in East Kilbride
Breathable hydraulic and hot-mixed lime render for period, listed and solid-wall properties.
East Kilbride property owners come to us for lime render for one of two reasons: something has failed, or the house looks tired.
Most of what we see around East Kilbride reflects the wider Lanarkshire pattern — sandstone tenements, Victorian terraces and large postwar estates, and tenement harling repair and failed cement render on sandstone.
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.
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 East Kilbride
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 does lime render take to cure?
Far longer than cement. Allow seven to fourteen days between coats and several months for full carbonation. It must be protected from frost and direct sun throughout.
