Roughcasting is a type of exterior finishing method used in the construction of buildings. In roughcasting, small pebbles and gravel or other like materials are mixed into the concrete or plaster as a finish for the exterior surface of the walls. The material dries into a rough and durable finish that is often maintenance-free for decades. Roughcasting is often confused with pebbledashing, a process where pebbles and stones are thrown against a soft cement finish.

Signs that your home needs roughcasting or re roughcasting

There are several tell-tale signs that you should think about having your roughcasting repaired more commonly known as re-roughcasting.

Often it is the case that water can become trapped behind the render and then frozen which separates the render from the substrate. As part of our free survey service, we can establish the cause of the disrepair and provide a full photographic report with the most cost effective solutions for your home. If disrepair is causing your roughcasting to crack you can have the whole area removed and replaced with a new external finish.

The best course of action is dependent on the size of the area that’s damaged.

Further signs your roughcasting needs repaired or replaced

Expansion of brickwork

which causes cracks in the exterior.

Visible erosion

this is often caused by a mixture of moisture and time.

Damage to the render

this is more visible & most people will be able to tell there’s an issue just by looking.

Efflorescence

(caused by poor masonry creme or mortar mix application) again most of the time this is a problem with aesthetics, however, if left for too long it can affect the structure of your building.

Structural damage

This is something that differs on a case by case basis.
