We recently had rendering work completed on our house and couldn't be happier with the results. The team was professional, punctual, and paid great attention to detail throughout the entire process. Communication was clear from start to finish, and the project was completed on time and within budget. The finish is smooth and consistent, completely transforming the look of our home. We’ve already received several compliments from neighbors. Highly recommend their services!

The house was looking very old and tired with its 1950s pebbledash which had become quite stained over the years. Today it looks lovely! Edinhome did a very troublefree and good job and I can't fault them. Pleasant people, no fuss and the reasonable bill was exactly the same as their estimate. No problems and highly recommended.

Very pleased with all work done by Edinhome - Jan and his team. Silicon rendering to house, garage, chimney and boundary walls. Excellent communication throughout with Jan. His hardworking team completed work as quickly as able (with weather) and tidied up every day. Looks great and happy to recommend.

This is an update from my previous review as I'm probably the most awkward person to work for so I feel this needed updating.
Jan and his team did an A1 job on my extension.
The weather was against them for most of the time so the timescale went out the window to my frustration but Jan took his time to explain the consequences of trying to finish it when the weather was absolutely horrendous.
Happy to listen to my ranting and to do what was required to get a fantastic finish which they did.
I'd 100% recommend these guys
👍👍👍

Jan and his team have just completed a Baumit smooth render to our house. We are absolutely delighted with the finish and would highly recommend Edinhome if you are considering this kind of modification on your own home.
The guys that worked on our project were reliable and always arrived when they said they would. They were quick and efficient and the standard of work is very high.
Once they had finished the render they then swept and cleaned our entire back garden (we felt this was above and beyond because the majority of the mess was not even made by them, but by other tradesmen that had worked on our renovation)
Thanks again Jan and team. We really appreciate your hard work.

Roughcasting & rendering service
My home is a 3 bed semi-detached house that was built in the mid 1960's. It is in the style of a Villa, low roof, Dorma windows and integral garage. The house exterior was original, comprising of Bara Shell Roughcast & red facing brick. Needless to say the house exterior was in dire need of an upgrade.
In total I contacted three separate companies to compare quotes. Edinhome was the first to offer their services and carry out their survey. Jan, one of the company's director's, arrived to discuss my requirements and to give his advice. I wanted the existing roughcast re-done with stone dash and the red brick completely covered. After discussion, I asked for the quote to include coloured silicone render on the brickwork along with the stone dashing. Included in his survey was matching my window ledges with a colour match silicon paint. I asked Jan if he could reinforce the red brick prior to rendering as there were historic settlement cracks showing he told me as a matter of his company’s standard's that he would reinforce my entire building with fibreglass mesh and additionally double up around the windows to add strength to weaker points. He carried out his survey which took him about 45 mins. That evening I received a fully costed quote, which at first glance seemed quite a lot, and that it would take two weeks to complete.
I entertained another two companies to provide their quotes, both of which were disappointing (and which received 4.8 and 4.9 stars with over 100 reviews each). The “surveyor’s” from both companies resembled young salesmen, telling me what they could offer, I had to ask them if they would reinforce the brickwork, to which they both said was not necessary, but could accommodate if I wished, which I did! Both “surveyors” where at my house for no more than 20 mins. Also said that job would be fully complete in 1 week. That evening I received a text message and an email from both companies, with a total cost but not a fully costed quote! Like Jan’s quote I was quite surprised at the cost.
What did it for me was that Jan was thorough from start to finish when I met him, also I had never heard of any company fibreglass meshing an entire building as standard. I was sold. He came back to the house once I excepted his quote to choose the dashing and the colour of the render.
Within three weeks, the scaffolding was up, materials delivered and 2 workmen on site. Like he said it took two weeks to complete. I got to know the workmen reasonably well, kept them fed and watered. They were both fantastic. Turned up on time every day and put a full shift in. They only stopped for lunch, 15-20 mins. They did not have a radio blasting, or have one for that matter or stop for numerous cigarette breaks. Fortunately I got to compare their workmanship, as one of my neighbours was also having their house re-roughcast, which in total took about 3 days. 1 base layer followed by stone dash and they paid not far off what I paid for mine. The point is, if you want to guarantee that your home’s exterior is strong and built to last and looks fantastic at the same time, look no further than Edinhome. Warning – Do Not be fooled by companies offering fixed pricing as these are estimated by square metering and only for one base coat with stone. The total layering put on my home was four including the fiberglass mesh.
Finally I would like to add that throughout the entire process, Jan’s customer service was fantastic, he liaised with me and dealt with any minor concern’s I had, I even received a text from him one evening a 11.30pm to check that I was satisfied with the way things were going. That’s commitment!!

Honest Warranty That Actually Means Something
Many companies promise 20-year guarantees on paper, only to disappear or change names when problems arise. We believe in a transparent approach backed by a business that will still be here when you need us.
Realistic 5-Year Protection
We offer a solid 5-year warranty—not because our systems only last that long, but because we refuse to make empty promises. While others sell "lifetime" guarantees they won't honor, we stand behind a realistic warranty designed to protect you.
The "First Winter" Test
The truth is simple: poor workmanship fails quickly. Issues like cracks or adhesion problems typically appear after the first freeze-thaw cycle. Our warranty covers this critical period, ensuring your system has passed the ultimate test of durability.
Decades of Durability
Properly installed rendering lasts for decades. In over 20 years of business, we have never had to return to fix one of our installations. We do the job properly the first time—no shortcuts, just solid workmanship.

Difference between Roughcast & Rendering
There are several types of external wall finishes used in the UK, but the most common are traditional roughcast (also known as harling, pebble dash or dry dash) and modern, silicone-based, lightly textured render systems. While both serve to protect the structure and enhance appearance, they differ significantly in build-up, performance, and visual character.
Roughcasting / Pebble Dash (Dry Dash) System
Roughcasting is a traditional, highly durable finish where natural aggregates (decorative stone chips) are applied onto a specially prepared dash receiver coat. In the dry dash method, the clean aggregates are thrown onto the freshly applied polymer-modified render and mechanically pressed in, leaving the natural colour and texture of the stone fully visible.
This is not just a generic method—it is the core of our proprietary EDINHOME Roughcast System. We developed this specific multi-layer build-up in-house, drawing on years of experience to create a solution that perfectly withstands the local climate. This system has proven to be exceptionally effective and durable, which is why we have adopted it as our absolute standard—we apply this exact, high-specification system to every roughcasting project we undertake.
This creates a tough, stone-armoured outer layer that offers:
Exceptional impact resistance
High tolerance to uneven or older wall surfaces
Excellent weather protection
A classic, heavily textured Scottish façade
In contrast, wet dash involves mixing the aggregates into the mortar before application, resulting in a softer, more muted texture where the stones are coated. While still traditional, it does not offer the same crisp definition or durability as a modern reinforced dry dash system.
Rendering – Silicone Render System
Rendering refers to a smooth or finely textured external wall finish applied in multiple reinforced layers. In modern systems, such as our silicone render, the structure consists of:
Bonding and basecoat layers
Full-surface fibreglass mesh reinforcement (crack control)
Primer
A thin-coat silicone top finish (typically 1.5 mm grain)
This specific build-up constitutes our proprietary EDINHOME Render System. We have developed and refined this specification ourselves to ensure maximum flexibility and crack resistance. It has proven to be the most reliable solution for modern homes, which is why we strictly adhere to this system as our standard for every rendering project.
Although the surface feels smooth, it is micro-textured due to the mineral content of the render, usually between 1.5 mm and 3 mm. This fine texture allows for uniform appearance, precise detailing, and a contemporary architectural look.
The key advantages of silicone rendering are:
Breathability with high water repellence
Flexibility and crack resistance
Resistance to algae, dirt, and staining
Long-lasting colour stability
Low maintenance requirements
The Key Difference in Simple Terms
Both systems are reinforced and designed to protect the building fabric, but their final function and appearance differ:
Roughcast / Dry Dash forms a thick, stone-based protective armour layer with a bold, traditional texture and exceptional robustness.
Silicone Render forms a smooth, breathable, flexible protective skin with a refined, modern appearance and advanced weather performance.
Choosing between them is not only a matter of style, but of how much surface tolerance, impact resistance, breathability, and visual refinement your property requires. Our specialists assess each building individually and recommend the most suitable system to ensure long-term durability, protection, and aesthetic value.
EDINHOME Silicone Rendering in Edinburgh, Glasgow & Surrounding Areas – A Modern, Durable Solution for External Wall Renewal. Why it is a good idea for Rendering Work on Your Home?
- Silicone rendering is one of the most advanced and reliable external wall finishing systems available for residential properties. Designed to combine modern appearance with long-term technical performance, a silicone render system provides a breathable, water-repellent, and crack-resistant protective skin for your home.
- House rendering improves the appearance and value of the property.
- Modern, High-Quality Appearance. A fine, uniform texture (typically 1.5 mm grain) provides a clean, contemporary look suitable for both traditional and modern properties.
- Excellent Weather Protection The silicone topcoat repels rain while remaining vapour-permeable, allowing moisture within the wall to escape and reducing the risk of damp and blistering.
- Low Maintenance & Self-Cleaning Properties Silicone renders resist dirt, algae, and staining, keeping façades cleaner for longer with minimal maintenance.
- Crack Resistance. Full-surface fibreglass mesh reinforcement and flexible polymer basecoats help accommodate minor building movement and thermal expansion, significantly reducing the risk of future cracking.
- Long-Lasting Colour Stability. UV-resistant pigments ensure that the finish retains its colour and appearance for many years.
- Improved Property Value & Kerb Appeal. A professionally installed silicone render system enhances the visual appeal of your home while providing long-term protection to the building fabric.
- This makes silicone rendering an ideal solution for homeowners seeking a refined, modern façade combined with high technical performance and durability in Scotland’s demanding climate.

EDINHOME Roughcasting in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Livingston: Ideal for Commercial and Domestic Applications
Roughcasting has a long and well-established tradition in domestic architecture throughout Edinburgh, Glasgow, Livingston, Lanarkshire, Falkirk and South Fife. For generations, it has been one of the most trusted external wall finishes for Scottish homes, valued for its durability, weather resistance, and ability to protect masonry in exposed conditions.
Modern roughcasting is no longer just a simple decorative coating. When installed as a reinforced system, it forms a robust, stone-armoured outer layer consisting of a polymer-modified basecoat, full fibreglass mesh reinforcement for crack control, and a high-performance dash receiver finished with natural aggregates. This combination provides:
Excellent resistance to impact and surface damage
High tolerance to uneven or older substrates
Long-term protection against driving rain and wind
A distinctive, traditional textured appearance
For homeowners, the appeal of roughcasting lies not only in its classic character, but in its proven longevity and low maintenance requirements. A professionally installed roughcast system maintains its integrity and appearance for many years, making it a highly cost-effective solution for protecting and enhancing the exterior of a property.
This makes reinforced roughcasting an ideal choice for traditional and modern homes alike, particularly in the exposed climatic conditions typical of Edinburgh, Glasgow and the surrounding regions.
