Pebble dash (or roughcast) is a traditional external wall finish consisting of small stones or pebbles thrown into a wet render backing coat and left to set proud of the surface. It creates a very durable, textured finish that is characteristic of millions of UK homes built between the 1930s and 1970s.
Pebble dash requires specialist skills to repair and match — getting the right stone size, shape, and colour is critical for patches to be invisible. Our network includes rendering specialists experienced in matching and blending repairs to existing pebble dash as well as full re-dashes.
