Traditional roughcast and modern render, applied properly to suit the property — from a single wall repair to a full re-coat.

Who it's for
Homeowners with cracked, damp-stained or dated roughcast, and anyone considering a render upgrade for a smarter, more weatherproof finish. Common triggers are cracking, damp coming through internally, or a property that's simply ready for a refresh.
Also suits landlords and factors managing external wall condition across a block or portfolio.

Frequently asked
How long does roughcast last?
A properly applied roughcast finish typically lasts several decades with normal weathering. How long depends on the substrate, prep work and local exposure — we'll give you an honest view at survey stage.
Can you match my existing colour and texture?
Yes, in most cases. We'll assess the existing finish at survey and match colour and texture as closely as possible, particularly important for repairs to part of a wall rather than a full re-coat.
What's the difference between roughcast and render?
Roughcast is the traditional textured finish common on older Scottish properties, applied wet with aggregate mixed in. Modern render systems give a smoother, more contemporary finish and can include added insulation. We'll recommend the right option for your property at survey stage.
Does the weather affect when you can do the work?
Roughcast and render need dry, settled conditions to cure properly, so we plan jobs around the forecast. We'll talk through timing when we book the work in.
