Harled walls

[highlandlass]

The walls on my bungalow are harled but have not been touched for 40yrs. Do I paint existing harling or reharl? Any advice welcome.

Also has anyone had dealings with AquaClean? They are offering a chemical clean forr the walls but i am wary

Painted harling looks terrible. You can re-harl over existing, as long as the existing is sound. I have never had any dealing with the company you mention, nor do i know of anyone who has. Have a read through all the info in the link below. Harling over the existing is my way of thinking, but it's up to yourself.

Thanks for that roughcaster. i see you are also based in Moray, can you recommend anyone in my area & rough cost of reharling 3 bedroom bungalow

Where abouts (roughly) in Moray are you? You could expect to pay £3/4000.00 anyway. You'll have the labour (probably 3 men),,prep, scaffolding, materials, + VAT. Better getting quotes from local builders, (Elgin, Forres, Lossie) etc. Get a few quotes and take it from there. A job needs to be seen to get an accurate quote.
