Lochgilphead, Argyll and Bute
Render Repair in Lochgilphead
Cutting out blown, hollow and failed render and making good to match the existing finish.
Lochgilphead property owners come to us for render repair for one of two reasons: something has failed, or the house looks tired.
Argyll and Bute is characterised by stone cottages, Victorian villas and remote coastal properties, with extreme driving rain on remote west-coast properties the recurring theme on the properties we survey.
With very high rainfall with severe Atlantic exposure, specification matters more in this part of the country than a national price list suggests. The west coast combines the highest rainfall in britain with severe wind, and only breathable harling reliably survives it long term.
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 Lochgilphead
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.
