Housing stock in Ellon includes granite-built properties, a distinctive feature of the north east and commuter housing alongside older stone-built streets, which shapes the roughcasting and rendering work most often needed here.
Common issues we hear about from this area include cracking around window and door openings, hollow or "blown" sections, water ingress, and ageing painted or pebble-dashed finishes that need repair or replacement.

Multi-storey properties usually need scaffolding, adding a fixed cost regardless of finish chosen.
Existing finish removal
