Dedicated to the preservation, sympathetic restoration, and long-term care of Scotland’s residential, estate, and commercial built environment.
At Ashlar Stone & Render Care, we operate on a fundamental principle: **preservation over replacement**. Scotland’s unique climate subjects building facades to heavy rainfall, persistent biological infestation, and atmospheric pollution. Unskilled cleaning methods—such as high-pressure jet washing or harsh chemical acids—frequently cause permanent damage to sandstone friezes, mortar joints, and render coatings.
We employ conservation-grade technologies, including DOFF superheated steam cleaning systems and low-pressure soft-wash biocides. These methods eliminate organic spores, biological staining, and historic paint layers without eroding delicate stone faces or forcing water into wall cavities.
