Very good job done on our home. Exterior wall coating by Properla applied by excellent applicators. Can strongly recommend on every aspect.




Ultimate Home Solutions supplies and fits new exterior wall coatings across Aberdeen, with a free survey at your home and a clear quote to follow. The city is famous for granite, but a great many of its homes are harled or rendered: the post-war houses of Mastrick and Northfield, and the newer estates of Bridge of Don, Kingswells, Cove Bay and Westhill. Those walls face salt air off the North Sea and hard winter frosts, and the finish greys and cracks sooner than anyone would like. We wash the walls, make good the damage and apply a breathable coating that keeps the weather out, with all workmanship guaranteed.
On the north-east coast a wall has to deal with salt, wind-driven rain and hard frost. Paint gives up quickly in those conditions because it traps water behind it. A breathable coating such as ProPerla sheds the rain and lets the wall dry, so a harled house in Northfield or a rendered one in Portlethen stays sound and clean.
[ Breathable, not sealed ]The coating lets water vapour escape from inside the wall, so trapped damp dries out instead of blowing the render off. Microporous, just like the wall wants to be.
[ Hydrophobic finish ]Rain beads up and runs straight off rather than soaking in. A dry wall is a warmer wall, and it stops the freeze-thaw cracking that wrecks Scottish render.
[ A warmer home ]A wet wall loses far more heat than a dry one. Keeping rainwater out of the masonry cuts heat loss through the walls and helps take the edge off your energy bills.
[ Self-cleaning ]Dirt, algae and the green film that creeps up north-facing walls can't grip the surface, so the rain washes them away. The wall stays looking freshly done for years.
[ Any colour, fade-resistant ]Choose from the full RAL range. The pigment is locked into the coating so it holds its colour through UV and weathering, and all workmanship is guaranteed.
[ Surfaces we coat ]Pebbledash, roughcast, smooth and textured render, brick and stone. We power-wash, repair cracks and re-point first, so the coating goes onto a sound surface.

It is designed to. The breathable, hydrophobic finish protects against rain, salt, freeze-thaw and grime, and because dirt and algae struggle to hold on to it, rainfall keeps the surface clean. That matters in Torry, Cove Bay and Bridge of Don, where the sea is never far away.
Frost damages wet walls. Water soaks into harling or render, freezes, expands and cracks it. A hydrophobic coating stops the rain soaking in, so there is far less water in the wall to freeze, and a dry wall also loses less heat than a wet one.
Stone is on the list of surfaces we coat, together with pebbledash, roughcast, render and brick. Whether a granite frontage should be coated is a different question, and with Aberdeen granite the honest answer is often to leave the front alone and treat the harled or rendered walls. The surveyor will look at your house and tell you plainly.
For most houses a coating is a straightforward job, but check first if your home is listed or sits in a conservation area such as Old Aberdeen, Ferryhill or Rosemount. Aberdeen City Council planning can advise, or Aberdeenshire Council if you live in Westhill, Portlethen or Stonehaven. We will provide the product details they ask for.
Usually 3 to 7 working days, weather permitting. The walls are power-washed and repaired on the first day, then primed and coated over the following days, with the work sealed each night in case an Aberdeen shower blows through.
Where the damp is caused by rain penetrating the wall, a hydrophobic coating typically cures it. Rising damp and condensation have other causes, so a coating helps but does not solve them alone. The surveyor diagnoses the cause at the visit and is honest if a coating is not what you need.
