Why Would You Need Roughcasting?

Roughcasting, also known as rendering, is a crucial process in protecting your property from external weather conditions. Over time, exposure to harsh weather conditions can cause damage to your property, leading to costly repairs. Roughcasting helps to prevent this by adding an extra layer of protection to your property’s exterior walls.

Benefits of Roughcasting

Protection from external weather conditions: Roughcasting acts as a shield against the harsh Scottish climate, protecting your property from moisture, wind, and rain.
Increased energy efficiency: By providing an extra layer of insulation, roughcasting can help to improve your property’s energy efficiency, reducing your heating costs.
Enhanced aesthetics: Roughcasting can add to your property’s curb appeal, giving it a fresh and modern look.
Increased property value: A well-maintained property with quality roughcasting can increase its market value, making it more attractive to potential buyers.

Types Of Roughcast Render

At Luke Lloyd Builders, we offer a range of roughcasting options to suit your needs, including:

Harling: Harling is a traditional roughcasting technique that involves using a mixture of cement and aggregate to create a rough, textured finish.
Pebble Dash: Pebble dash is a popular roughcasting technique that involves mixing small stones or pebbles with cement to create a decorative finish.
Scratch render: Scratch render involves applying a thin layer of cement to the wall and then scratching it with a tool to create a textured finish.
Acrylic polymer render: Acrylic polymer render is a modern roughcasting technique that involves using a mixture of acrylic and silicone to create a smooth finish.
External wall insulation boarding: External wall insulation boarding involves adding insulation panels to the exterior walls of your property, followed by a layer of roughcasting.

Our team of experts will work with you to determine the best roughcasting option for your property, taking into account your preferences, budget, and needs.

Roughcasting Glasgow Average Cost

The cost of roughcasting in Glasgow can vary depending on several factors, such as the size of your property, the type of roughcasting you choose, and the level of preparation work required. On average, the cost of roughcasting a standard-sized home in Glasgow can range from £2000 to £6000.

Here are some of the factors that can affect the cost of your roughcasting project:

DIY Roughcasting vs. Hiring a Contractor

While it may be tempting to attempt a roughcasting project yourself, it’s important to consider the potential risks and downsides of DIY roughcasting. Here are some factors to keep in mind when deciding whether to hire a professional contractor or attempt the project yourself:

Experience and Expertise: Roughcasting is a complex process that requires specialized skills and expertise. A professional contractor will have years of experience in the industry, as well as knowledge of the latest techniques, materials, and tools required to complete the job to a high standard. They will also have the necessary training and certifications to ensure that your project is completed safely and efficiently.

On the other hand, if you attempt to tackle the project yourself, you may not have the same level of expertise or knowledge of the industry. This could result in costly mistakes, such as using the wrong materials or techniques, which could compromise the longevity and effectiveness of your roughcasting.

Tools and Equipment: Roughcasting requires specialized tools and equipment, such as mixers, trowels, scaffolding, and safety gear. Professional contractors will have access to all the necessary tools and equipment to complete the job safely and efficiently. Attempting to purchase or rent these tools yourself can be expensive, and you may not have the same level of expertise in using them.

Time and Cost: While DIY roughcasting may seem like a cost-effective solution, it’s important to consider the potential costs and time involved. The time it takes to complete a roughcasting project can vary depending on the size of your property, the type of roughcasting used, and the level of preparation work required. DIY projects can take longer than expected, which can result in additional costs and delays.

In addition, the cost of materials and tools required for a DIY project can add up, making it more expensive than hiring a professional contractor. By hiring a professional contractor, you can ensure that the job is completed on time, within budget, and to a high standard.

Safety: Roughcasting involves working at heights and handling potentially hazardous materials, such as cement and aggregates. A professional contractor will have the necessary safety training and equipment to ensure that the job is completed safely and without any accidents or injuries. Attempting a DIY roughcasting project can be risky, and can result in accidents or injuries if proper safety procedures are not followed.

At Luke Lloyd Builders, we understand the importance of a well-executed roughcasting project. We have years of experience in the industry, and we pride ourselves on providing top-quality roughcasting services to our clients in Glasgow and its surrounding areas. If you’re considering a roughcasting project for your property, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us. We’d be happy to provide you with a free, no-obligation quote and discuss your options with you.
