Glasgow Roughcasters
Roughcasting and rendering
AC Contracts Glasgow provide a complete Roughcasting service to ensure your property will be protected against the elements for many years to come. With over 25 years’ experience in protective wall coatings, we aim to satisfy your requirements with our quality service and attention to detail.
Our main core skills have always been wet trowel trades such as plastering, screeding and rendering. Roughcasting is just one of many finishes used to protect and rejuvenate common structures.
Our team of Roughcasters have experience in both new build developments and the private housing sector, the latter being the main body of our work due to visual or latent defects or the clients requirements for a cosmetic spruce up of their property
Some of our recent Work
Prior to any Roughcasting installation, we provide a detailed inspection of the existing substrate for defects, and will establish the root cause of how these can occur and how to prevent them from happening again. There are many reasons why existing Roughcasting can fail, these vary from, poor materials, poor cavity wall insulation, poor bonding to substrate, adverse weather, structural defects, DPC issues, and water ingress to name a few.
As with all our cementitious works, AC Contracts Glasgow are very stringent with our surface preparation prior to coatings, we take great care to ensure that the existing substrate is clean, sound and in the right condition to receive any Roughcast finishes, which in turn, will prolong the lifespan of the works both structurally and cosmetically.
In some case a complete hack off will be required to remove all coatings back to brickwork. If severe issues arise during works, we have experience dealing with what is required to put it right, this could include, stress cracks, structural repairs, underpinning, DPC replacement, lintel repairs, faulty pointing etc..
There are many types of materials and finishes that can be used depending on the existing substrate, such as
◦ Traditional Sand/Cement renders
◦ Hydrated lime renders
◦ Polymer renders
◦ Acrylic renders
◦ External wall insulation systems
◦ Wet dash
◦ Roughcasting/pebble dashing
◦ Smooth renders
◦ Scratch renders
◦ Acrylic sand finish
Samples of different colours and finishes can be provided from our main manufacturers, to give our clients options of the varied finishes we provide.
