Working in Falkirk
Plastering and roughcasting in Falkirk.
Falkirk has a real mix of homes. Near the town centre you find older stone houses and terraces. Around them are big estates of council-built semis and terraces, and the edges of town have newer builds. Each kind of house needs something a bit different, inside and out.
Inside, plaster in older Falkirk homes has often cracked, gone hollow or been patched many times. Hollow plaster has come away from the wall behind it. The team cuts back anything loose, then puts on a fresh skim so the wall is flat again. In newer homes the usual jobs are skim coats, ceilings, old artex and new extensions.
Outside, a lot of Falkirk houses are roughcast, which some people call harling. Wind and rain wear it down over the years. It can crack or come loose, and then water gets in behind it. The team can patch a small area so it blends in, or strip the old coat off and roughcast the whole house.
We offer two kinds of finish. One is traditional wet dash roughcast. The other is a modern render with the colour mixed right through, so it never needs painting. We also redo gable ends, finish extensions and repair chimney stacks. Before we quote, we check the wall under the old render, so the new coat goes onto something sound.
We survey every Falkirk job and price it ourselves. You get one fixed price before any work starts. We have more than 10 years in the trade and over 500 projects completed. We work on site with our own team and do not use subcontractors.

Other areas near Falkirk
Do you cover my part of Falkirk?
Yes, he covers the whole town, including Camelon, Bainsford and Hallglen. He also works in Larbert, Stenhousemuir, Polmont, Grangemouth, Denny and Bonnybridge. If you live on the edge of the area, ring him on 07868 611191 and he will tell you.
Can you roughcast a house in Falkirk in winter?
Yes, we roughcast all year round. In cold weather the new coat takes longer to cure. We will not put roughcast on a wall that is going to freeze that night, so we plan the work around the forecast.
Can new plaster go straight over my old plaster?
Often it can. If the old plaster is sound, the team can put a fresh skim right over it. If it sounds hollow when you tap it, or it crumbles, that part has to come off first. We check this on the survey and tell you which you need. Our guide to plaster repairs in Falkirk explains what to fix and when.
Will a roughcast repair stand out from the rest of the house?
It should not. The team colour-matches new roughcast to the existing walls so it does not look like a patch job. A new extension is blended in with the house in the same way. Our guide explains what roughcasting is and when it suits a house.
What happens on the free survey?
We come out and look at the job ourselves. Outside, we check the wall under the old render. Inside, we check how sound the plaster is. Then we tell you straight what it needs and give you one fixed price. There is no charge and no pressure to go ahead.
