Rendering for Thornhill homes and businesses
External rendering protects and finishes masonry and blockwork walls, from traditional sand and cement renders to modern through-coloured silicone and acrylic thin-coat systems. Ricky inspects every wall before work starts, identifying any blown or hollow render that needs removing, assesses the substrate, and selects the right system for the property and local climate. Base coats and topcoats are applied to spec with proper curing windows respected. Repairs and patching of existing render, breathability on older solid-wall properties, and render on new extensions are all handled as part of the service. In Thornhill, that means applying smooth and textured render systems to external walls across a building stock of the planned village's wide main street of sandstone houses near the Drumlanrig estate. Ricky matches the materials and method to the property rather than working to a single template, so the finish suits both the age of the building and the way the space is used day to day.
