FINDING a company you can trust to undertake improvements to your property can be tricky.
The best recommendation of all is word of mouth from previous happy customers, but so too is instinct: just as you instinctively know when you find the right house to buy, when you meet PureBuilt founders/directors Declan Rogers and Peter Fay for the first time, you instinctively feel your home improvement project is in safe hands.
And according to testimonials from many very happy customers, for home improvements throughout Glasgow and West/Central Scotland the most trusted name in quality home improvements is Glasgow-based PureBuilt.
PureBuilt is a specialist company transforming properties across Scotland with solutions designed to protect, enhance, and increase the value of a home, be it roughcasting, durable wall and roof coatings, external wall insulation, and new windows and doors – the essential parts that form the fabric of most buildings.
Moreover, what makes the PureBuilt team stand out is their direct approach and technical expertise, combined with a friendly, reliable service that uses premium materials, minimises disruption, and offers robust guarantees and after-care.

Founded in 2023, Declan and Peter bring years of experience working on Scottish buildings and importantly, share the same core values – quality, integrity, transparency, and focus on customer care.
“Our mission is very simple: to make Scottish homes warmer, stronger, and better looking, without the stress,” says Declan. “As a Glasgow-based team, we combine building science with craftsmanship to deliver home improvements able to withstand wind, rain, and freeze-thaw conditions by specifying quality materials that are durable, breathable, and made for our climate.”
Declan continues: “We believe great results start with clear advice and honest pricing. This means fixed, itemised quotes, practical options tailored to suit a customer’s home and budget, and clean and tidy workmanship from start to finish. There is no hard sell or technical jargon: just helpful guidance from a local business that understands your home is your most important investment.”

When it comes to external wall finishes, roughcast (often known as render or harling) is one of the most popular – and for good reason, as its advantages include weather protection, low-maintenance, durability, and aesthetic appeal.
It also offers protection against moisture damage and can improve a property’s energy efficiency by adding a layer of insulation, while the coarse textured finish conceals imperfections and is available in a choice of colours. PureBuilt’s skilled roughcasters use high-quality renders and aggregates which give a durable, weather-resistant result that looks crisp and uniform for decades.
Advances in technology have resulted in specialist wall coatings which offer an alternative and can refresh tired render or roughcast. Not to be confused with paint, external wall coatings can be sprayed/applied over roughcast, brick etc to offer protection from the weather and improve the look of a building.
“However, wall coatings are only ever as good as the preparation,” cautions Declan. “We prepare surfaces meticulously and repair any hairline cracks before applying a high performance, breathable coating that resists dirt, algae, and fading caused by UV light.
“Similarly, roofs can be protected and aesthetically refreshed with specialist roof coatings designed for use on concrete tiles, clay tiles, and some slate roofs. We clean, treat and prime the surface and then apply a tough, UV-stable coating which helps to inhibit moss and lichen re-growth and restore a uniform, long-lasting colour.”

Given an estimated 33 per cent of heat is lost through walls, 25 per cent through the roof, and around 10-15 per cent through windows and doors, insulation plays a crucial role in making our homes warmer and more energy efficient – and for owners of older, solid wall properties who don’t want to sacrifice space inside their home, external wall insulation is available.
PureBuilt fits high-quality insulation boards to the outside walls, which are then finished with a robust, decorative render – a solution that makes a home warmer inside and more attractive on the outside.
Doors and windows add character to a home as well as providing security, comfort, and minimising heat loss. PureBuilt installs windows in a range of styles, from traditional sash and case to modern tilt and turn and bay designs, all with high-performance glazing and durable frames. Doors range from composite front doors to French, bi-fold and patio doors.
Best of all, PureBuilt service doesn’t stop when the job is finished. For ultimate peace of mind, every PureBuilt project is backed by long-lasting manufacture-backed warranties, workmanship guarantees, and after-care support to keep your home looking and performing at its best.
