Roughcasting vs rendering
A quick comparison to help North Berwick 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, or where a traditional look is wanted. | 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 North Berwick
Property size & elevations
The number of elevations being covered is usually the biggest cost driver for roughcasting or rendering work, whatever the property type.
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 — narrow streets, tight gardens, or a property set back from the road — can affect scaffolding and travel costs on any job.
See full indicative price ranges on our roughcasting cost guide and rendering cost guide.
