About a pebbledashed house
Pebbledash (dry-dash) was applied to countless homes from the 1920s onwards to weatherproof the walls. Over time it cracks, stains and dates the property, and can hide problems in the wall behind.
Whether it's removed or rendered over depends on its condition — we assess and advise honestly.

Frequently asked questions
Do you have to remove pebbledash before rendering?
Not always — sound pebbledash can sometimes be rendered over. If it's cracked or blown, removal gives the best, longest-lasting result.
How big a difference does it make?
A huge one — going from tired dash to smooth modern render completely transforms a home's kerb appeal.
