Render Painting & Coating in Inverness-shire
Breathable masonry coatings and full-system paint applications over existing render.
Our render painting & coating work in Inverness-shire starts with a free survey, because guessing at a render specification is how jobs go wrong.
Across Inverness-shire, stone cottages, croft houses and highland rural properties dominates, and frost damage and driving rain on remote highland properties is what we are called out to most often. Inverness-shire sits in a part of the UK that gets severe highland conditions with heavy rain and hard frost — worth factoring into any render decision.
Local factor. Altitude, remoteness and severe frost cycling combine here to make breathable lime harling the only durable specification on traditional stock.
Is render painting & coating right for a Inverness-shire property?
Choose painting when the render is structurally sound and you want a colour change or refresh without the cost of a full re-render.
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
Render Painting & Coating in Inverness-shire — questions
Why is my masonry paint peeling?
Almost always trapped moisture behind a non-breathable coating, or paint applied over a chalky, unstabilised surface without a primer.
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.
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.
