Tyrolean Render in Dalkeith
Machine-flicked Tyrolean render giving a fine, honeycombed decorative texture.
Dalkeith property owners come to us for tyrolean render for one of two reasons: something has failed, or the house looks tired.
Most of what we see around Dalkeith reflects the wider Midlothian pattern — Georgian and Victorian stone terraces, tenements and modern estates, and conservation lime work on Edinburgh stone and harling repair.
Dalkeith 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 tyrolean render is the right call. Choose Tyrolean for matching existing 1960s-80s finishes, for outbuildings and garages, and where budget and a forgiving texture matter.

FAQs
Tyrolean Render in Dalkeith
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.
Can Tyrolean render be painted?
Yes, and it commonly is. Masonry paint takes well to it, though the texture uses noticeably more paint per square metre than a smooth wall.
Why does my Tyrolean look green?
The open texture holds moisture and dirt, so algae establishes readily on shaded elevations. Render cleaning and a biocide treatment resolves it.
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.
