About roughcast repairs

Roughcast repair covers patching cracked or hollow-sounding sections, re-chipping small areas to match the surrounding finish, and fixing water ingress points around openings. A targeted repair can often solve the problem without the cost of a full re-render.

Signs you need this

Cracking, hollow or 'blown' patches that sound different when tapped, roughcast coming away from the wall in sections, or damp patches appearing inside near an exterior wall are all signs a repair is worth investigating before deciding whether a fuller re-render is needed.

Options

Repairs can range from small patch and re-chip jobs to larger sectional repairs, and we can advise honestly on whether a repair will hold or whether the extent of the damage means a fuller re-roughcast is the better long-term option.

Roughcast Repairs FAQs

Can cracked roughcast be repaired without a full re-render? +

Often yes — a targeted patch and re-chip repair can fix a localised crack or hollow section. We'll assess whether a repair is appropriate or whether the damage is too extensive.

Why is my roughcast leaking? +

Cracks, hairline gaps around window and door openings, or hollow 'blown' sections can all let water through to the substrate. A roughcaster can identify the entry point and recommend a repair.

Will a repaired patch match the rest of the wall? +

We'll generally try to match the existing chip size and colour as closely as possible, though some colour variation between old and new render is common, particularly on older, weathered finishes.
