Find Our The Cost To Roughcast Your House?
Roughcasting Prices for Mid Terrace House
If you own a mid terraced house and live in Central Scotland, prices for roughcasting start FROM around £2,000.
Please keep in mind this cost is just a guideline and on the lower end of the scale. It’s based on an easy install, where your homes existing walls are currently in good condition.
The cost to roughcast a mid terraced house can range anywhere from £2,000 up to £4,000 depending on other factors, including your chosen roughcast or render material and your postcode. Roughcasting a house in the West End of Edinburgh or Stirlingshire for example, will almost certainly cost more than a similar house in Ayrshire or Inverclyde.
Roughcasting Prices for a Bungalow
It’s difficult to provide an average cost to roughcast a bungalow in Scotland, this is due to the fact that bungalows differ so much in size.
To roughcast a small one or two bedroom bungalow should start from around £2,500, with prices ranging anywhere up to £6000 for large bungalows with more complex layouts and large wall surface areas.
In many cases scaffold is not required to apply roughcasting on a bungalow, which can keep the cost down a little. Hopefully this roughcast price guide is somewhat useful to Scottish homeowners with smaller bungalows, for anyone else, it’s best to get in touch to arrange a free home survey and get accurate costs to consider.
Roughcasting Prices for End Terrace House
The average cost to roughcast an end terrace house in Scotland is £4,000.
Prices start FROM £3,000 for end terraced houses with smaller walls and gable ends. If you have lots of windows and two or more doors, this will reduce the cost slightly, as will reduce the overall wall square meterage that needs coated.
Roughcasting Prices for 3 Bedroom Semi Detached House
The average cost to roughcast a 3 bedroom semi detached house in Scotland is £5,000.
Prices start FROM £3,500 for semi detached houses again depending on total wall size, number of windows and doors and the current condition of your walls.
If your chosen roughcasting company can just apply the new render without any extensive repairs, pointing or fixing any damaged wall structure or brickwork. then it makes for an easier and lower priced installation.
However, in the experience of our partner installers, this is rarely the case with many vital steps needing to be properly addressed first, to “make your walls good” before applying any new render.
Roughcasting Prices for a Detached House
Due to the wide range of sizes, different design layouts, number of storeys, heigh differences and other factors, we believe it is a waste of time to provide any expected costs to roughcast a detached house in Scotland.
If you know your homes square meterage or have some drawings or plans, please send these over if you are adamant on getting a ballpark figure.
Otherwise, it’s a far better use of time to set aside the time to speak to one of our surveyors during a free, no-obligation home survey, to get some accurate and detailed costs to consider.
External Rendering Cost in Scotland
Our partner installer are specialists in applying various types of external rendering products. External render provides a smooth finish that many people find more aesthetically pleasing than traditional roughcasting.
Unlike roughcasting costs that are a little more easy to predict, prices for external rendering have far too many variants to be able to provide any expected costs without knowing more information.
There are so many different products and finish such as K Rend, Acrylic Render, other Silicone Renders, Scratch Back Render and more, making it almost impossible to breakdown like its roughcast counterpart.
In an attempt to provide a very rough ballpark, we would say any costs you have for roughcasting expect to pay around 20 to 30% more for a smooth render finish.
