Render Cleaning in Stonehaven
Soft-wash render cleaning and biocide treatment that removes algae without damaging the finish.
Getting render cleaning right in Stonehaven depends far more on the substrate and the exposure than on the product name.
Aberdeenshire is characterised by granite terraces, farm cottages and exposed coastal housing, with harling repair on granite and frost damage on exposed elevations the recurring theme on the properties we survey.
Stonehaven sits in a part of the UK that gets cold, exposed North Sea conditions with severe frost — worth factoring into any render decision. Aberdeen granite is dense and unforgiving, and traditional harling rather than smooth render is what has historically worked on it.
When render cleaning is the right call. Choose soft-wash cleaning to restore a discoloured render without the substrate damage that pressure washing causes on thin-coat systems.

FAQs
Render Cleaning in Stonehaven
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.
