Render Repair in Inverness-shire
Cutting out blown, hollow and failed render and making good to match the existing finish.
Inverness-shire property owners come to us for render repair for one of two reasons: something has failed, or the house looks tired.
The prevailing picture in Inverness-shire is stone cottages, croft houses and highland rural properties. That means frost damage and driving rain on remote highland properties comes up more here than almost anywhere else. Local conditions bring severe highland conditions with heavy rain and hard frost, and that has a direct bearing on which systems are worth specifying.
Local factor. Altitude, remoteness and severe frost cycling combine here to make breathable lime harling the only durable specification on traditional stock.
Is render repair right for a Inverness-shire property?
Choose repair over a full re-render when failure is localised, the bulk of the elevation is sound, and the cause can be fixed.
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 Repair in Inverness-shire — questions
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.
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.
