Roughcasting and Wall Coating in Renfrewshire
Harling, rendering and wall coating across Paisley, Renfrew, Johnstone, Linwood, Erskine and the villages.
Renfrewshire is Paisley's mill-era sandstone terraces and tenements at one end and large post-war harled estates at the other, with Linwood and Erskine built later again. It takes the same west-coast rainfall as Glasgow, around 1,200mm a year, with extra exposure along the Clyde at Erskine and Bishopton. A lot of the housing here is ex-local-authority, which means shared gables, matched finishes and neighbours whose wall is literally your wall.
Local knowledge
What goes wrong on Renfrewshire walls
Shared gables are the recurring issue. On a semi or a four-in-a-block the wall does not stop at your title boundary, so doing your half and leaving the rest gives you a visible joint and a weak point exactly where the two finishes meet. It is nearly always better done as one elevation.
Ex-council stock across Ferguslie, Foxbar and Linwood was finished to one specification at one time, so it ages at one time. Where a block is going, it is usually going everywhere, and that is worth knowing before you pay to patch a single house.
Down at Erskine and Bishopton the Clyde exposure adds wind-driven rain on top of the rainfall. Elevations facing the river take noticeably more than the same wall would two miles inland.

FAQs
Common questions about Renfrewshire
Do you cover the whole of Renfrewshire?
Yes, including Paisley, Renfrew, Johnstone, Linwood, Erskine, Bishopton, Bridge of Weir, Houston and Lochwinnoch.
My neighbour and I share a gable. How does that work?
Best done together. We can quote the elevation as one job and split it, which avoids a visible joint down the middle and removes the weak point where two different finishes meet.
My house is ex-council. Does that matter?
Only in that the whole block was built and finished at once, so it tends to fail at once. We will tell you honestly whether your house is the problem or whether the block is.
How soon can you start?
Typically within 30 days of accepting your quote.
