Miro gave me a fair price and had a slot so could do the work next day. He did an excellent job and was polite, clean and tidy. Had a short lunch break and was finished mid afternoon. Would recommend.

Pebble dash installation, repair and removal – Rated People

Pebble dash is a rustic-looking wall finish, with tiny stones embedded into a layer of wet render. Typically used on exterior walls, it’s a traditional technique that’s been around for decades and stands the test of time.
Trying to decide what type of wall coverage is right for your house? This hard-wearing, low-maintenance option could be a real contender. For a tidy and professional finish, you’ll need a specialist plasterer or renderer with plenty of experience because it’s not as easy as it looks.
The fundamentals are simple in theory: a wet render and stones. But the application itself is the tricky bit. Pebbles are applied with a flick of the wrist, which is a laborious and lengthy process – depending on the size of the wall being dashed. To give you the best chance of decent and long-lasting coverage, it’s best to carry out the work during a spell of good weather.
What can pebble dash rendering cost?
Most tradespeople will charge per job as opposed to per day. That’s because the drying process can take time. Your quote should also factor in labour costs, scaffold hire and materials, as well as preparation costs. To pebble dash a full exterior, you can expect to pay the following:
- Terraced house: £3,000-£4,000
- Semi-detached house: £4,000-£5,000
- Detached house: £5,000-£6,000
Pebble dash render repair

Although this method of wall coverage is hardy, it may occasionally need repairs. This can be a result of general wear and tear or weathering. We’re prone to frequent bad weather in the UK, so it’s a good idea to keep your walls well maintained.
Leaving crumbling render compromises the quality of the wall, as water can find its way in and cause damage. A plasterer or renderer will be able to determine the extent of the problem and quote accordingly.
Can you render/paint over pebble dash?
If your pebble dash walls need decoration and you’re not sure if you want to keep this style, you have a few options.
First, it’s possible to paint over pebble dash as long as any damage and cracks are repaired beforehand. Painting over pebble dash can be tricky though, as the surface is uneven and difficult to roll or brush over.
An alternative is to re-render your walls. This can give a fresh look and alternative finish to your property. And it’ll then be easier to paint too.
Re-rendering is a big job, which may require your plasterer to strip the pebble dash back to the building’s original brick work. Read more about how to remove pebble dash here.
The qualifications your tradesperson needs
Pebble dashing is a skill that requires a good level of experience, but it’s not essential to have a qualification to work on a domestic property. Some tradespeople may opt to get a qualification from reputable bodies such as City & Guilds.
Planning permission for pebble dash jobs
You won’t generally need planning permission for pebble dashing the exterior of your property or for repair work – providing it’s in keeping with the current appearance.
If you live in a listed property or conservation area, however, you may require approval from the local authority. It’s also worth speaking to neighbours before pebble dashing your house as it can drastically change the appearance of a building.
Insurance your tradesperson needs
A reputable plasterer or renderer should have public liability insurance to protect against any accidental damage when pebble dashing your property.
Questions you should ask your tradesperson
- Do they have plenty of relevant experience?
- Can they provide a warranty on their work?
- Can they remove pebble dash render?
- Can they repair existing pebble dash wall?

AVOID AT ALL COSTS I can't recommend Tom. Previously TH&Jones Ltd he has changed the company name. He has left us with an extension that doesn't meet building regulations and needs to be taken down. Our house unsalable. I have an independent report to support it. Insufficient foundation, no damp course, insufficient insulation, incorrect installation of roof. He said he would rectify if we paid for 'things unquoted' but failed to show exactly what. We haven't heard from him in months. Stay away!!
I have been a Painter and Decorator for more than 4 years already. My goal is to provide a high-quality job and service to my clients!
Thank you Valentin for an amazing job refreshing an old tired hall stairs and landing and a very fiddly utility room. I would highly recommend Valentin. He is clean and tidy, works quickly and is a lovely guy as well. We have already booked him in for the next project.
As a Stonemason for more than 20 years I have specialised in the restoration and conservation of historic/period properties, churches and buildings. In 2010 I established my own Ltd company bringing my skills to the domestic market.
Terry was really fantastic. A positive experience from first contact through to completion of works. Terry re rendered and render patch repairs to my courtyard wall in central Cheltenham over a two day period. First class job. Exceeded my expectations ( and I very been a tradesman for nearly 40 years myself ) Would whole heartedly recommend Terry Bridges Masonary to anybody requiring his services. 5 stars.

This combined with our 1 million pound public liability insurance should give you full confidence in Andrey's Property Services.
AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Andrey completed work under contract with guarantees, but within 2 months the exterior paint peeled off & looks awful. After acknowledging the poor workmanship, Andrey has systematically avoided all accountability - dodging calls, breaking promises, and blatantly refusing to honour his contractual obligations. A complete lack of professional integrity, despite us having all records of communication - he cannot be trusted to stand behind his work.
