When you say roughcast do you mean tyrollean rendering? This is done by
splattering a suitable mix with a hand cranked splattering machine (about
£50 from Screwfix).

No no, I've examined the Tyrolean angle but don't find it offers enough
texture*.
Roughcast is sand and aggregate up to 3/8": thanks for the info anyway.

*Getting all philosophical, I've noticed one of the things in architecture
that is usually present in attractive structures is textu multi-coloured
bricks, variation in slates/tiles, rough-rendered walls etc.
