Why Trade Force

Roughcasting done properly.

Traditional Scottish roughcast (wet dash) and modern through-coloured render across Central Scotland.

Full house roughcast, gable end refresh, extension finishes and chimney stack work. Our team does roughcasting and rendering, so one team can look after all the outside walls of your house.

We come out to survey every job and price it ourselves. The survey and quote are free, with no high-pressure sales. We turn up when we say and leave the place tidier than we found it. We check every job ourselves before we leave.

We are based in Stirling, and our team roughcasts homes all over Falkirk and Glasgow too. Inside the house, the same team does plastering, from skim coats to ceilings.

We are absolutely delighted with the work Ethan carried out on the front wall of our home. He did a fantastic job of roughcasting the wall and the results are excellent. Ethan was friendly, polite and hardworking throughout taking great pride in his work.

What’s included

Every roughcasting job, the same standard.

Full House Roughcast

Our team strips back failed render and repairs the substrate. Then comes a scratch coat, a top coat and a hand-thrown finish that matches the rest of the property. If the walls inside need work too, the team also does replastering and plaster skimming.

Gable Ends & Extensions

New extensions blended in, tired gable ends brought back to life. Colour-matched to the existing building so it never looks like a patch job.

Chimney Stacks

Stack repointing, lead flashing renewal and a fresh roughcast finish. Scaffolded properly, signed off, weather-tight for years.

Through-Coloured Render

Modern monocouche systems where you want a clean modern finish. Long-life, colour-fast, no painting needed.

FAQ

Roughcasting questions, answered.

Anything else? Ring or WhatsApp us and ask.

How long does roughcast last?

A properly applied roughcast finish gives you 30+ years before it needs touching, assuming the substrate underneath is sound. We always dig into the existing render before we quote.

Will you paint it after?

Traditional roughcast is left grey or limewashed. Modern monocouche is through-coloured and never needs painting. If you want it painted later, masonry paint over a fully cured roughcast is fine.

Can you work in winter?

We work year-round, but cure times stretch in cold weather. We will not throw roughcast onto a wall that is going to freeze overnight, and we plan the job around the forecast.

Is the survey and quote really free?

Yes. Free survey, free quote, no obligation and no high-pressure sales. You get a fixed price up front, and that is the price. To book yours, get in touch.

Are you insured?

Yes. We have £5 million public liability insurance for all our work.

Google reviews

Words from those we’ve worked with.

We recently had Ethan plaster our hall and three bedrooms, and we honestly could not be happier with the result. He has done an absolutely fantastic job and we are extremely impressed with the finish throughout. The walls are perfectly smooth and ready to decorate.

I can't recommend Ethan highly enough. He plastered our entire 4-bedroom house and completed the job to absolute perfection. From start to finish, Ethan was polite, professional, and always respectful of our home.
