Wall Coatings
in Glasgow,
made for west coast rain.

Most full-house coatings come in between £3,500 and £8,500, applied, and that covers the scaffolding, the power-wash, crack and render repairs, primer, base coat and top coat. A large detached house in Newton Mearns or Bearsden can run to £14,000 or more. The survey is free anywhere in the city, the quote is clear and carries no obligation, and various deposit options are available.

We can coat the walls that belong to your flat, and we do it often in places like Knightswood, Mosspark and Carntyne. The finish looks best when the whole block is done together, so it is worth a word with your neighbours first, and worth checking your title deeds for anything about the outside walls. If the owners agree, we survey the full building and quote for each flat.

That is what it is made for. The finish is hydrophobic, so rain beads on the surface and runs away instead of soaking into the roughcast. A wall that stays dry is a warmer wall, and it is spared the freeze and thaw that cracks render in a Scottish winter.

It makes a big difference. Dirt, algae and the green film that builds up on shaded walls struggle to grip the coated surface, so ordinary rainfall washes most of it off. Before anything is applied we power-wash the walls, so the coating goes onto clean masonry.

Most homes are finished in 3 to 7 working days, weather permitting. The first day is the power-wash and repairs, and the primer and coats follow over the next few days. The scaffolding is there for the length of the job and comes down once we have walked round the finished walls with you.

It depends on the cause. If rain is getting in through the walls, which is called penetrating damp, a hydrophobic coating typically cures it. If the problem is rising damp or condensation, a coating helps but will not fix it alone. The surveyor works out the cause first and will tell you straight if a coating is not the answer.

Any RAL colour. The surveyor brings colour samples to your home, and on request we apply a small test area to your own wall so you can see it in daylight before you decide. The pigment is part of the coating, so it holds its colour through sun and weather.

Often, yes, though you should ask first. Glasgow has a number of conservation areas and many listed buildings, and the council may want a say on changes to the outside of a house, a change of colour above all. Check with Glasgow City Council planning before you commit, and we will supply the product details your enquiry needs.

Yes. You will find us inside Dobbies Garden Centre at Braehead (75 Kings Inch Drive, Renfrew, G51 4FB) between 10am and 5pm on any day of the week. You can pick up colour samples there and talk your house through with the team. The survey itself always happens at your home, because the walls are what we need to see.

All of them, G1 to G78: the West End, the Southside, the East End and the north of the city, plus Bearsden, Bishopbriggs, Rutherglen, Cambuslang, Giffnock, Newton Mearns, Clydebank and Renfrew. There is no call-out fee for a survey on any of them.
