Should I accept Harling that's bauld in places on a new built extension
Anonymous user 28/02/2024 - 3.47 PM
Recently had an extension built and the Harling on the walls is bauld in places, particularly around the windows and doors, they've also covered the vents put in the wall with harling, should we accept this? Any advice appreciated

If you can post pictures this would be the best option, as it's a visual thing, vents shouldn't be covered up as they are for ventilation, so they'll need clearing. As a rule though all rendering and plastering should be uniform and not patchy.

Definitely not! Roughcasting should be uniform and heavy with chips all areas covered. E advised the only way of fixing this completely is to re-harrel the whole panel again. Do NOT allow them to attempt to patch. A roughcasting patch sticks out like a sore thumb.

Harling is a good material specially used in Scotland and for a listed property with same finish. It is hard to say more as the question is what was agreed on the estimate. Obsolete vents can be filled up, but if they come from main building to extension needs to be preserved and kept for their purpose.

No there should be no areas of baldness at all, it should be uniform all over. No excuses.
