Gourock, Renfrewshire
Sand & Cement Render in Gourock
Traditional two or three-coat sand and cement render, float or sponge finished, ready to paint.
Our sand & cement render work in Gourock starts with a free survey, because guessing at a render specification is how jobs go wrong.
Across Renfrewshire, sandstone tenements, Victorian terraces and postwar estates dominates, and tenement harling and render failure on sandstone terraces is what we are called out to most often.
Gourock sits in a part of the UK that gets wet with strong exposure along the Clyde — worth factoring into any render decision. Clyde-side exposure and high rainfall mean west-facing tenement elevations here weather considerably faster than sheltered ones.
When sand & cement render is the right call. Choose sand and cement for boundary walls, outbuildings, patch repairs to match existing render, and budget-led projects on stable substrates.

FAQs
Sand & Cement Render in Gourock
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.
Does sand and cement render need painting?
Yes. Unlike through-coloured systems it has no integral colour, so it needs masonry paint — and repainting roughly every five to eight years.
