Rendering your walls
Applying render on your external walls weatherproofs your home; it gives a pleasing look and can be really beneficial for your property.
For homeowners in Scotland, who are looking for alternatives to roughcast, rendering is a great option with multiple benefits. Firstly it creates a barrier to the outside elements. Over the years the exposed brickwork is battered by the elements and will need repointing. By rendering your walls, a barrier is created between the outside elements and the bricks, protecting the walls.
The second benefit of rendering is stopping dampness. Rendering does not absorb water like bricks and therefore the walls are less likely to retain moisture. The rendering layer keeps the inner wall layer dry and keeps the dampness outside.
Aesthetics is the third major benefit of rendering. Rendering your home will give it a uniform, new fresh look. This is specially true if the underlying brick work looks old, mismatched or discoloured. The rendering will hide the imperfections of the underlying wall. Rendering will make your home look more attractive, modern and clean.
Unfortunately, rendering isn’t cheap – but the price definitely out weights the cost of living in a damp house or having to repair the outside walls. The render will form a protective waterproof barrier on the external walls, repelling water and preventing water ingress in future. It will also smarten up your property.
There are three types of render, acrylic (affordable option but does not breathe), mineral (breathe and is durable) and silicone based render (breathe, durable, water repellent, flexible and easy maintenance). Your specialist builder will be able to guide you through the best render for your home.

Where do I start?
Ideally, you should have an idea of the type of tiles for roofs or the colour of roughcasting or wallcoating for your exterior walls, the budget and the timeline. These could still be vague ideas, but they are a good starting point. Looking online for inspirations or going to showrooms can help if you have time. Else the surveyor will be able to guide you through the different options.
__________
Can I Spread the Cost of the renovation?
By being FCA regulated, the roof and roughcasting builder is able to offer you a finance offer that will suit your needs.
What can I do to reduce the cost?
One of the methods to reduce the cost of a new roof or roughcasting is by doing some of the work yourself if you are handy. This could include disposing of the old roof tiles or braking the old roughcast that may have water ingress. Basically, anything that reduces the time for the tradespeople to spend in your property. The drawback is that you will have no guarantees of workmanship and quality on these aspects of the job.
