Rough Casting & Rendering
Rough casting (harling) and rendering - weatherproofing and refreshing exterior walls, gables and chimneys across Angus and Aberdeenshire.
About This Service
Rough casting - or harling - is the traditional render that protects so many Scottish homes from wind-driven rain. When it cracks, blows or falls away, water gets into the wall behind and the damage spreads. We carry out rough casting and rendering across Angus, Aberdeenshire and Tayside, from patch repairs to full re-harling of walls, gables and chimney stacks. We prepare the surface properly, make good any damaged masonry first, and apply a weatherproof finish that keeps the wall dry and looking smart. Whether it's matching a repair into existing harling or giving the whole property a fresh, uniform finish, we take care to get it right.

Common Questions
Can you patch-repair rough cast or does it all need redone?
It depends on the extent of the damage. Small areas can often be patched and matched in, but where the harling has failed over a large area a full re-render usually gives a better, longer-lasting finish. We'll advise honestly after taking a look.
Why is my harling cracking and falling off?
Usually it is age, trapped moisture or movement in the wall behind. We find and deal with the underlying cause - not just the surface - so the new render lasts rather than failing again.
Will new harling match the rest of my house?
We take care to match the texture and finish of existing rough cast as closely as possible on repairs, and for full re-renders we give you a clean, consistent finish across the whole wall or property.
