Roughcasting for Langholm homes and businesses
Roughcast and harling bring a time-tested textured finish to external walls across South West Scotland. The work starts with a thorough assessment of the existing surface, repair of any failed sections, and preparation of the wall ready to receive the new finish. Ricky throws the aggregate and cement slurry mix onto the wall by hand, building up the traditional wet-dash texture that has protected Scottish stone and solid-wall properties for generations. Colour options range through pigmented mixes or painted finishes applied after the roughcast cures. In Langholm, that means throwing traditional wet-dash aggregate finishes onto external stone and solid walls across a building stock of the tightly built stone terraces of the Muckle Toon sitting where the Esk and Ewes meet. Ricky matches the materials and method to the property rather than working to a single template, so the finish suits both the age of the building and the way the space is used day to day.
