Exterior Painting & Wall Coating in The Scottish Borders

Exterior Painting & Wall Coating in The Scottish Borders

Preserving the character of Borders homes.

Stop penetrating damp. Protect stone & roughcast. Guaranteed for 20 Years

Protecting Homes in the Tweed Valley

Living in the Scottish Borders offers beautiful scenery, but the geography creates specific problems for homeowners. Towns like Peebles, Galashiels, and Hawick sit in river valleys.

  • The Valley Effect: Cold air sinks into the valleys at night, creating high humidity and fog. This moisture clings to the exterior of your home.
  • The Stone Problem: Many Borders properties are built from porous whinstone or sandstone. When this stone gets wet, it loses its ability to insulate, making your home cold and expensive to heat.

We offer a respectful solution.

We understand you don’t want to cover beautiful stone with thick paint. We use Pro-Perla technology—a clear or coloured breathable shield that stops water entering the wall but allows the building to breathe. It keeps the damp out of your home without ruining its character

Invisible Stone Protection

If you live in a traditional stone villa, painting it is often a mistake. Instead, we waterproof it invisibly.

  • Pro-Perla Masonry Crème: We clean the stone and apply a deep-penetrating cream.
  • The Result: The stone looks exactly the same (dry), but water beads up and rolls off it like a waterproof jacket.

Energy Saving: Dry walls are 40% more thermally efficient than wet walls.

Roughcast Restoration

For the many roughcast and harled homes in the region that are looking tired or stained:

  • Repair: We repair cracks and “hollow” render caused by frost damage.
  • Coat: We apply a super-hydrophobic coloured coating (e.g., in “Borders Cream” or “Polar White”).

Self-Cleaning: The coating prevents the green algae growth that is so common in damp river towns

Exterior Painting

Detailing: We provide high-gloss, weather-resistant painting for timber facias, soffits, and window surrounds to complete the look

Your Local Experts in the Borders

We work across the TD postcode area. We know the difference between a town house in Selkirk and a farm cottage in the Lammermuirs.
Breathability: Essential for older stone buildings. Using non-breathable “plastic” paint causes stone to rot. We only use micro-porous materials.
Frost Resistance: Our coatings are flexible, meaning they won’t crack when the temperature drops in winter (a common issue in inland Borders towns).
Accredited: We are fully trained Pro-Perla installers.

Frequently Asked Questions

My house in Peebles is 100 years old. Is it safe to pressure wash it?

We are extremely careful with older masonry. We use a “soft wash” technique with fungicidal treatments rather than high-pressure blasting, which can damage soft mortar. We then repair any loose pointing before applying the protection

Our coatings come with a 20-year manufacturer guarantee. They are designed specifically for damp, northern European climates. They will not flake or peel, even in the humid conditions of the Tweed Valley

Yes. We have 4×4 vehicles and frequently work on isolated properties in the Borders countryside
