Work in Bearsden
Taking the dash off
Bearsden has a great deal of substantial inter war and post war property: villas, bungalows and large semis, most of them roughcast from new.
More of our smooth render enquiries come from this kind of housing than anywhere. A dashed villa taken to a flat render with dark window frames does not read as the same house.
It is more work than a re-dash, because an old house is never flat and the levelling has to come from the backing coat. That coat is where the time goes and it is the reason the two jobs are not the same price.
Bigger elevations
The houses here are simply larger, and scale changes this trade. A long elevation has to be finished to a wet edge in one run or a join shows across it.
That is a question of planning the day and having enough hands on it rather than anything clever on the trowel.
Inside
High ceilings, cornice work worth keeping, and hallways long enough to show every ripple. Where the cornice is good it stays and the new finish runs into it.

Straight answers
Questions about work in Bearsden
Is smooth render dearer than re-dashing?
Usually, because the wall underneath has to be brought genuinely flat and there is no texture to hide anything. We will price both if you want to compare.
Can you work round original cornice?
Yes. Where it is worth keeping it stays and the new work is run into it.
