Housing stock in Kelso includes sandstone and stone-built terraces and conservation-area properties with more sensitive finish requirements, 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.
