Edinburgh, Midlothian
Silicone Render in Edinburgh
Breathable, self-cleaning silicone thin-coat render in a through-colour finish that never needs painting.
We carry out silicone render across Edinburgh and the surrounding Midlothian area throughout the year.
Most of what we see around Edinburgh reflects the wider Midlothian pattern — Georgian and Victorian stone terraces, tenements and modern estates, and conservation lime work on Edinburgh stone and harling repair.
Edinburgh sits in a part of the UK that gets cold easterly exposure with frequent frost — worth factoring into any render decision. Edinburgh's world heritage core carries some of the strictest conservation requirements in britain, and only lime specifications will get consent.
When silicone render is the right call. Choose silicone where you want a low-maintenance, breathable finish on a solid-wall or insulated property and you don't want to repaint every five to seven years.

FAQs
Silicone Render in Edinburgh
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, with teams across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. If we are not the right firm for your location we will tell you rather than waste your time.
How long does silicone render last?
A correctly installed silicone system carries a typical 25-year warranty and commonly performs well beyond that. Because the colour is integral rather than painted on, it ages by weathering evenly rather than by peeling.
Can silicone render be applied over old render?
Often yes, provided the existing render is sound, well-bonded and free of damp. We hammer-test and pull-test the substrate first — anything hollow or blown has to come off.
How much does rendering cost?
It is priced by the square metre and depends on the system, the condition of the walls and access. Our guide-price tool gives an indicative range in about a minute, and the survey turns that into a fixed written quote.
Do you offer a guarantee?
Yes. Every job carries our workmanship guarantee, and where a full manufacturer-specified system is installed you also get the system warranty on top.
