Wet dash

Wet dash is more common in the more exposed areas of Scotland.

It consists of three parts sand, one part cement, and one part small, sharp gravel.

This mixture is then applied as a thick layer to your property’s external walls

Dry dash

Slightly more decorative than wet dash, dry dash is a good render for properties with some protection from the elements, such as hills or in built up areas.

Dry dash is a mixture of pre-washed and screened dashing aggregate – available in a range of sizes, blended with a specially formulated, coloured polymer-enriched mortar cement.

External rendering

External render can be applied to any home and is usually just a mix of sand and cement.

The team at Ollie Roofing & Building Contractors Ltd can apply external render to your property with either a smooth or patterned finish.

Once applied and dried, this surface sets hard and can be painted with masonry paint.

Roughcasting repairs
As with all masonry that is exposed to the elements, roughcasting isn’t invincible and over time it may crack or chip.

Cracks and chips in roughcasting are usually a result of water getting into smaller defects, freezing and then expanding. Our team can carry out roughcasting repairs before they escalate.
