Wall Coatings
in Kilmarnock,
from a team based in the town.

At Block 5, Unit 1, Glencairn Industrial Estate, KA1 4AZ, and the doors are open from 10am to 5pm Monday to Saturday, with Sunday by appointment. It is the place to collect colour samples, ask questions and book a survey in person. The coating itself can only be judged on your own walls, which is why the survey is always done at the house.

A typical full-house coating is between £3,500 and £8,500 applied, including scaffolding, the power-wash, repairs to the wall, primer, base coat and top coat. Bigger detached properties can reach £14,000 or more. You get a clear quote after the free survey, there is no obligation to go ahead, and various deposit options are available.

Usually, yes, once it has been put right. We power-wash the walls, repair the cracks and re-point where it is needed, so the coating is going onto a sound surface. If the roughcast has failed badly, the surveyor may advise stripping and re-rendering that area first, and will show you why on the wall itself.

Most houses are done in 3 to 7 working days, weather permitting, and in Ayrshire the weather does get a vote. Washing and repairs come first, then the primer and the coats over the days that follow. The work is sealed at the end of each day.

If the damp comes from rain soaking through the outside wall, a hydrophobic coating typically cures it, because the water can no longer get in. Rising damp and condensation are different problems, and a coating helps with those but is not a complete fix. The surveyor finds the cause before recommending anything, and says so honestly if a coating is the wrong answer.

Not the way a painted wall does. The colour is locked into the coating and holds up to sun and weather, and because dirt and algae find it hard to cling to the surface, rain does most of the cleaning for you. Your care notes at handover explain the little that is needed to keep it looking fresh.

The whole RAL range, so you are not limited to white and cream. The surveyor brings samples with them, and if you ask, a small test area can be applied to your wall before you commit to a colour.

Yes. Brick and stone are both fine, as are pebbledash, roughcast and smooth or textured render. Each surface is prepared differently, so the surveyor looks closely at what your walls are made of and what condition they are in before the quote is put together.
