What is wall coating?
Wall coating is a special protective material applied in two coats to the exterior of both domestic and commercial properties. It is superhydrophobic meaning water will bead and run off your walls. This superhydrophobic barrier makes your exterior walls self-cleaning as any dirt or debris will simply wash away the next time there is heavy rain.
Wall coating also helps reduce energy costs by making homes more energy efficient. Water absorption into your walls is reduced by up to 93% which in turn greatly reduces heat loss through your walls making your home more energy efficient. This improvement in energy efficiency is recognised by the home energy trust.
Wall coating is available in a wide range of colours to choose from meaning you can give your long-lasting protection whilst having it match your taste.

Wall Coating FAQ’s
What Is The Process?
Transforming your home with protective wall coating is a comprehensive process which is why we can achieve such impressive home transformations.
- First, we clean the property thoroughly with an antifungal solution and pressure washer. This will ensure any loose patches of the substrate are removed along with dirt, moss, algae, lichens or flaky paint.
- We will complete any necessary repair work. If you have any cracks or broken patches of roughcast our teams will make repairs to your external wall to ensure your walls are structurally sound before moving on to the coating. This is a vital step and will allow for long-term peace of mind knowing any potentially harmful problems are fixed, stopping water ingress and dampness.
- The next step is to prepare and take measures to stop any overspray. Wall coating can be messy if not completed by professionals, our teams will mask windows, door frames and any areas not being sprayed to make sure we are being as tidy as possible. The teams will also use drop cloths to protect garden paths etc and use spray shields to give sharp edges.
- The next step is to apply your coating in a colour of your choice. We use high-powered airless spray machines which allow us to deliver a beautiful professional finish free of stroke or brush marks.
- Once the job is complete and both coats of your protective wall coating are applied our teams will do a walk-around with the property owner to ensure satisfaction and complete any remedials whilst we are onsite. Once you are happy the job is signed off and you will be issued your guarantee once the balance is paid.
Wall Coating Vs Masonry Paint
Once you way up the costs and the benefits the clear winner is wall coating
Masonry paint: Masonry paint is a shorter-term solution more suited to people with limited budgets or want to take on the work themselves as a diy’er. There are a few things you should consider when looking at masonry paint, it isn’t breathable so when moisture tries to escape from the masonry you will notice unsightly bubbles appearing on the surface of the paint. It will also start to flake and come off after 1-2 years and will in most cases need completely redone within 3-5 years, so when you weigh up the initial cost, time is taken for maintenance and then the cost of reapplying you would be better just investing in wall coating in the first place.
Wall coating: Is guaranteed for 10 years and has a life expectancy of 20-25 years, it is 400% more flexible than paint and has amazing breathability properties meaning you won’t have any annual maintenance. It also has a superhydrophobic barrier meaning your walls are self-cleaning in the rain.

Wall Coating Vs Roughcast
Roughcasting is a longer lasting solution than masonry paint however it is something that will still cause problems that require repairs and maintenance especially with the scottish climate meaning Wall coating is still the better choice.
Roughcasting: One of the problems with roughcasting in scotland is that it doesn’t expand and contract with the weather which will in time cause cracks that will need repaired and if not repaired lead to water ingress and dampness. Safe installation also requires scaffolding around the property for the duration. The scottish weather can make roughcast become discoloured after only a few years eventually becoming grey and jaded. Roughcasting can also be very expensive often £10-25 more per square meter than wall coating.
Wall Coating: Most people choose to renovate the exterior of their property because either they want to change the colour of their house or because they have worrying cracks or damaged patches. Our wall coating transformations fix all these issues all for less than roughcasting and comes backed by a 10 year guarantee.
