Roughcasting in Dundee
We offer roughcasting in Dundee, from new work and re-roughcasting to repairs of cracked or blown finishes — roughcast (harled) is a familiar sight on properties here.

Rendering in Dundee
External rendering is also on offer for Dundee properties, whether that's a first render, re-rendering, or updating from roughcast or pebble dash to a smooth or K Rend finish.
Covers external house rendering, K Rend, silicone render, re-rendering, and render repairs — including rendering over existing roughcast or pebble dash where the substrate is sound. See our rendering service page for full detail.
Property and exposure considerations
Dundee sits on a firth, with exposed, breezy conditions that put extra demand on wall finishes, and sits on Scotland's east coast, where sea haar and driving rain off the North Sea test exterior finishes.
Housing stock in Dundee includes traditional stone-built terraced housing and 1950s–70s council-built estates, which shapes the roughcasting and rendering work most often needed here.
Common issues we hear about from this area include cracking around window and door openings, hollow or "blown" sections, water ingress, and ageing painted or pebble-dashed finishes that need repair or replacement.
Roughcasting vs rendering
A quick comparison to help Dundee homeowners choose. See our full comparison guide for more detail.
| Factor | Roughcasting | Rendering |
|---|---|---|
| Appearance | Coarse, textured chip finish — the traditional look. | Smooth or fine-textured, painted or through-coloured finish. |
| Best suited to | Matching an existing roughcast property in Dundee, or a traditional look. | A contemporary appearance, or upgrading from an older roughcast/pebble dash finish. |
| Maintenance | Low maintenance; painted roughcast needs periodic repainting. | Traditional render needs repainting; silicone/K Rend generally does not. |
What affects roughcasting and rendering cost in Dundee
Property size & elevations
The number of elevations being covered is the biggest cost driver for roughcasting or rendering work in Dundee.
Scaffolding
Multi-storey properties usually need scaffolding, adding a fixed cost regardless of finish chosen.
Existing finish removal
Stripping failed render or roughcast back to a sound substrate adds labour and disposal costs.
Access & location
Property access and Dundee's specific location can affect scaffolding and travel costs.
See full indicative price ranges on our roughcasting cost guide and rendering cost guide.
