Wall condition and removal
Loose or failing roughcast cannot be made sound by covering it. The survey identifies the areas that need preparation or removal before the new work.

YOUR HOME, PROPERLY PREPARED
Restore the texture. Refresh the whole exterior.
Roughcasting gives a house its familiar textured appearance. When an existing finish becomes loose, patchy or worn, the right approach depends on what is happening underneath. We assess your walls and explain whether the proposed work involves preparation, removal or a new finish, so you know what your quote covers.
THE SCOPE OF YOUR ROUGHCASTING WORK
What goes into the finished exterior?
Texture and aggregate
Colour and aggregate affect the appearance of the finished wall. We help you choose a finish that works with the house, its windows and surrounding surfaces.
A coherent finish
A whole elevation can offer a more consistent appearance than isolated patches. The extent of the work depends on the condition of the wall and the agreed brief.
Edges, openings and access
Window reveals, adjoining surfaces and access all form part of the specification. Scaffolding and waste arrangements should be clear in the quotation.

BEFORE YOU BOOK
Roughcasting questions, answered
Straightforward answers to help you take the next step.
What is the difference between roughcasting and rendering?
Roughcasting has a pronounced aggregate texture. House rendering can provide a smoother or finer textured finish. Both need a suitable substrate and a specification appropriate to the building.
How much does roughcasting a house cost in Scotland?
The area of wall, removal of existing material, repairs, access and finish all affect the price. A bungalow and a taller house can need very different access arrangements. Request a survey for an itemised quotation.
Can you roughcast over the existing finish?
Only where the existing surface and proposed system allow it. Unsound material needs attention first. We do not recommend covering failing roughcast simply to avoid preparation.
How long will the work take?
The programme depends on the house, preparation, access and weather. We explain the proposed schedule when the scope is agreed; drying and curing conditions can affect progress.
