“Replacement” costs depend on what’s being replaced and what condition the underlying structure is in. A roof replacement may include strip-off, underlay/battens, leadwork, ridge/verge details and disposal. Roughcast replacement may include hacking off loose areas, repairs, and a full new finish. If you tell us what you’re replacing (roof, roughcast, or both), we can give a realistic ballpark and then firm it up with a quote.

The cost of new roughcasting varies depending on whether you’re applying over sound existing walls or repairing/removing damaged areas first. If the existing base needs significant patching, that can increase labour time. For most homeowners, the best approach is an itemised quote that separates preparation from the new roughcast finish, so you can see exactly what you’re paying for.

Roughcasting cost is mainly driven by the total wall area, access (height/scaffolding), and how much prep work is needed (cracks, blown areas, damp patches). The finish you choose and whether you’re doing one elevation or the full house also makes a big difference.
