Exterior Painting and Wall Coating in Central Scotland

Umbrella provides exterior wall painting, wall coating and roughcast/render repairs for homeowners across Central Scotland. A free survey helps establish the surface condition, repairs and preparation needed before choosing a suitable finish.

Roughcast, pebbledash and render

Many Scottish homes have roughcast, pebbledash or render. Over time these surfaces collect dirt and algae, fade and can crack or blow. A suitable coating can refresh the look of sound walls.

What is right for your home depends on the surface and its condition. Send photographs and we will say what we would want to check.

Roughcast and render repairs before painting

We repair damaged roughcast and render. Cracked, loose or blown areas need assessing rather than simply painting over. The affected material is removed and the repair built back up as appropriate, leaving a sound surface for the proposed finish.

Our Brightons, Falkirk project photographs show the exposed damage and repaired roughcast sections. Your own repair requirements depend on the condition and extent of the damage; photographs help us understand what needs checking at the survey.

See the Brightons roughcast repairs in the project gallery

Exterior painting, coating and preparation

A fresh colour is only part of the work. Cleaning, removing unsuitable loose material and completing necessary repairs come before application. We assess roughcast, pebbledash and render and discuss the finish appropriate for that surface.

Your quotation sets out the agreed preparation, repairs and proposed exterior paint or coating. Tell us whether you want to refresh an existing finish or need damaged areas assessed first.

Masking and protecting your garden

Windows, doors, paving and nearby surfaces need protection before application. Our existing masking photographs show the care taken around openings and ground areas.

We discuss planting, lawns, patios, garden furniture and neighbouring boundaries when planning the work. Tell us about delicate plants or access restrictions so suitable coverings, masking and the working area can be planned before starting.

Common questions

Which areas do you cover?

We work for homeowners across Central Scotland. Send your postcode and we will confirm whether we can help.

Roughcast, pebbledash and render. Suitability depends on the surface condition and the proposed coating.

How much does wall coating cost?

It depends on the property, surface condition, access and preparation. Request a free survey and quote.

Can you coat cracked or blown render?

It must be assessed first. The survey should identify repairs and whether coating is suitable.

How will you protect my garden?
