One of the key services we offer at A Burke & Son is professional roughcasting, a technique that can breathe new life into the exterior of your home or commercial building. Roughcasting is a time-honoured method of applying a protective layer of mortar, sand, and other materials to the exterior walls of a building. This durable coating not only enhances the visual appeal of your property but also helps to protect it from the elements, ensuring its longevity and value.
In addition to our expertise in roughcasting, we also provide a wide range of building services, from chimney repairs and repointing to complete chimney re-builds. Our team of skilled tradespeople is dedicated to delivering high-quality workmanship and exceptional customer service, ensuring that your property transformation is a seamless and stress-free experience.

Maintaining the exterior of your property is crucial for both its aesthetic appeal and structural integrity. Over time, the elements can take a toll on the walls, leading to cracks, crumbling, and a general weathered appearance. This not only detracts from the overall look of your property but can also compromise its structural stability.
By investing in professional roughcasting services, you can effectively address these issues and protect your investment. A well-executed roughcasting job can:
A freshly roughcast exterior can dramatically improve the visual appeal of your property, increasing its value and making a positive first impression on visitors and potential buyers.
The protective layer of roughcasting helps to shield your walls from the damaging effects of rain, wind, and UV radiation, ensuring your property remains in top condition for years to come.
Roughcasting can also improve the thermal efficiency of your building, helping to reduce energy costs and create a more comfortable living or working environment.
By safeguarding your walls from the elements, professional roughcasting services can significantly extend the lifespan of your property, making it a wise long-term investment.
In addition to our expertise in roughcasting, we also specialise in chimney repairs and repointing. Chimneys are an essential feature of many homes, but they are also vulnerable to wear and tear over time. Neglecting these vital structures can lead to serious issues, such as leaks, structural instability, and even fire hazards.
Recognising the signs that your chimney requires attention is the first step in ensuring its ongoing safety and functionality. Some common indicators that it’s time to call in a professional include:
Look for visible cracks, crumbling mortar, or other signs of structural damage on the exterior of the chimney.
Water stains, damp patches, or moisture issues around the chimney can indicate a problem that needs to be addressed.
If you notice an unusual buildup of soot or debris in the chimney, it may be a sign of a blockage or other issue.
Strange sounds, such as whistling or rumbling, can be a sign of a problem with the chimney’s structural integrity or airflow.
Chimney repair work can be hazardous, requiring specialised knowledge and equipment. Our team has the necessary expertise to ensure the job is completed safely and to the highest standards.
A professional chimney inspection can help to identify any underlying issues that may not be immediately visible, allowing us to develop a comprehensive repair plan.
Chimney repairs must adhere to strict building codes and regulations. We ensure that all work is carried out in compliance with the relevant standards.
When you choose A Burke & Son for your chimney repairs, you can have peace of mind knowing that our work is backed by a comprehensive warranty and guarantee.
