Peterhead, Aberdeenshire
Render Repair in Peterhead
Cutting out blown, hollow and failed render and making good to match the existing finish.
Render Repair in Peterhead is work we take on regularly, and the Aberdeenshire housing stock is a big part of why.
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.
The area sees cold, exposed North Sea conditions with severe frost, which is the single biggest factor in how long any render lasts here. Aberdeen granite is dense and unforgiving, and traditional harling rather than smooth render is what has historically worked on it.
When render repair is the right call. Choose repair over a full re-render when failure is localised, the bulk of the elevation is sound, and the cause can be fixed.

FAQs
Render Repair in Peterhead
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.
