Work in Milngavie
Villas, bungalows and the newer estates
Milngavie runs into Bearsden and shares much of its stock: inter war and post war villas and bungalows, roughcast from new, with newer housing added round the outside.
The older ones are re-dash or smooth render jobs. The newer ones are usually repairs, where a render has cracked along the block joints because the backing coat was rushed on a busy site.
Sitting at the edge of the moor
Out towards the reservoirs and the moor there is very little shelter, and walls facing that way weather faster than the same wall two streets in.
It shows as staining long before it shows as a crack, and staining in a straight line down an elevation usually points at a gutter rather than at the render.
Extensions and garden walls
A lot of the work here is finishing: an extension to match the house, a garage never rendered, retaining walls round a patio.
Garden walls want a different build up and a proper detail at the top, or the first frost finds the top edge.

Straight answers
Questions about work in Milngavie
My new render has cracked along straight lines. Why?
Lines that follow the blocks behind are telling you about the backing coat rather than the finish. Filling them is treating the symptom.
Do you do garden and retaining walls?
Yes, and it is worth doing at the same time as the house so the finishes match and there is one lot of access to pay for.
