R&J Crown Roofing
Wall Coating & Roughcasting Across Scotland
R & J Crown Roofing provides wall coatings, harling and roughcasting across Central and Eastern Scotland for homes, commercial properties and traditional buildings.
Exterior Wall Coatings
Exterior wall coatings can provide an additional protective finish for suitable rendered and masonry surfaces while improving the overall appearance of the property.
We assess the condition of the walls before recommending a suitable coating. Correct preparation and application can help create a cleaner, more consistent finish while providing additional resistance against regular exposure to Scottish weather.
Traditional Harling
Harling is a traditional exterior wall finish widely associated with Scottish homes and period properties. Its textured appearance can help protect exposed walls while retaining the character of older buildings.
We provide harling across Central and Eastern Scotland, taking the style, condition and existing finish of the property into consideration. This allows us to achieve a finish that works naturally with the building rather than appearing out of place.
Professional Roughcasting
Roughcasting provides a durable textured finish that is commonly used on traditional and modern Scottish properties.
The finish can help protect exterior walls against rain, wind and frost while giving the property a clean and consistent appearance. We carry out roughcasting for homes and commercial properties, with careful preparation before the new surface is applied.
Preparation and Exterior Wall Repairs
Before carrying out harling, roughcasting or wall coating work, we assess the existing surface and identify areas that may require cleaning, preparation or repair. Loose material and damaged sections can then be addressed before the new finish is applied.
What is harling?
Harling is a traditional textured exterior wall finish commonly found on Scottish properties. It can provide a durable surface while maintaining the character of the building.
What is roughcasting?
Roughcasting is a textured exterior finish applied to suitable walls to provide a practical and weather resistant surface.
Can you work on older properties?
Yes. We provide harling, roughcasting and wall coating services for older and traditional properties, with the existing materials and appearance taken into consideration.
Do exterior walls need preparing first?
In many cases, yes. Existing loose material, damage or deterioration may need to be addressed before a new exterior wall finish is applied.
Can you help choose a suitable finish?
Yes. We can assess the property and discuss appropriate wall coating, harling and roughcasting options based on its construction, condition and appearance.
Restoring Older and Weathered Walls
Years of exposure to Scottish weather can leave exterior walls stained, cracked or generally tired in appearance.
A suitable external wall finish can help refresh the property while providing additional protection to the surface beneath. We work on older homes, cottages, extensions, commercial buildings and other properties where exterior walls have begun to deteriorate.
Colours and Finishes
The right finish should complement the property rather than simply cover the existing exterior.
We can discuss suitable wall coating colours, textures and finishes based on the style of the building and the appearance you want to achieve. Different options can be considered for modern homes, traditional properties and commercial buildings.
Our external wall coating and roughcasting services are carried out with these conditions in mind, helping provide a practical finish designed for long term exposure to the local climate.
