The work we offer
Roughcasting, Explained
For a Cathcart wall stained beside a gutter, window or downpipe, we investigate why it stays wet before agreeing new roughcast. A fresh finish must not conceal an unresolved water source.
- Roughcast sounds hollow or has started to detach
- Cracks run through the textured finish
- Patches are crumbling around windows or at low level
- Previous repairs differ in texture or have failed again
- Rain staining suggests a gutter, downpipe or wall join needs to be checked
Your property in Cathcart, Glasgow
Repair the water fault before renewing the wall
A crack at a window corner can need different preparation from hollow roughcast across a wider wall. Show the whole area above and below the damage, including sills and rainwater pipes. We inspect the wall and surrounding finish to distinguish an isolated opening from a problem affecting more of the surface.
If a gutter or pipe repeatedly wets the wall, that work is discussed alongside the roughcast proposal. Removing loose material and preparing sound wall sections comes before the final texture. The quote identifies whether this is a patch, one wall or a wider job, with any rainwater repairs listed clearly. Choosing a colour alone cannot establish that the wall is ready for the new finish.
Describe how the stain changes after rain
Send the Cathcart postcode and photographs showing the window or pipe beside the damage. Mention recent gutter, sill or window work and whether the wall dries between wet periods.

What Your Roughcasting Quote Covers
Roughcast is a textured render finish applied to an outside wall. Loose material and damaged areas beneath need preparing before a new finish is applied. A thinner wall coating should not be used to hide loose or hollow roughcast.
- Inspecting the existing roughcast and likely moisture sources
- Removing loose material within the agreed work area
- Preparing and repairing the wall beneath the finish where needed
- Applying the agreed base and textured finish
- Protecting openings, roofline, drainage and neighbouring surfaces
Height, access, materials and the amount of damage affect the price. If more damage is found underneath, any extra work and cost will be discussed before it is agreed.

Roughcasting Questions in Cathcart, Glasgow
Will roughcasting alone cure a damp wall?+
Only if the failed finish is the relevant cause. A gutter, pipe or sill fault may need repair first.
Can a crack beside a window be patched locally?+
Possibly, if the wall and surrounding finish remain suitable. We investigate the cause and expected patch appearance before deciding.
Should I photograph the downpipe too?+
Yes. A wider view can show whether runoff or leaking joints repeatedly wet the roughcast being considered for repair.
