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
What can a professional pebble dashing specialist help with?
Pebble dashing is a highly skilled job that requires an experienced hand. A professional renderer handles the entire laborious process from ground level to the roofline, ensuring your property is fully protected. Their main services include:
- Full exterior overhauls: Preparing the original brickwork, setting up scaffolding, applying a wet base coat of render, and expertly throwing the aggregate stones with a precise flick of the wrist for even coverage.
- Pebble dash render repair: Fixing cracks, hollow patches, or bald spots caused by general weathering and wear and tear. Patching up crumbling render quickly stops water from getting in and causing damp issues.
- Updating old pebble dash: Refreshing your home’s look by safely painting the uneven surface, applying a smooth modern render over the existing stones, or carefully stripping it back to the original brickwork.

What does pebble dash rendering cost?
Most tradespeople quote per project rather than per day because the multi-layered rendering and drying process takes time. A comprehensive quote should include labour, materials, preparation, and scaffolding hire. To pebble dash a full house exterior in the UK, you can typically expect to pay:
- Terraced house: £3,000 to £4,000
- Semi-detached house: £4,000 to £5,000
- Detached house: £5,000 to £6,000
- Minor patch repairs: Typically ranges from £200 to £500 depending on accessibility and the extent of the underlying damage.
Can you render or paint over existing pebble dash?
If you want to modernise your property's exterior, you don't necessarily have to look at full removal, which is a major job that can damage the brickwork. You have a couple of alternative options:
- Painting over pebble dash: You can paint over the stones to refresh the colour, but it is a tricky, slow process. Because the surface is deeply uneven, standard rollers won't work well, meaning it often requires specialised exterior spray equipment or heavy masonry brushes. Any underlying cracks must be repaired first.
- Re-rendering over pebble dash: It is sometimes possible to apply a modern, smooth monocouche or silicone render directly over old pebble dash. However, a professional renderer must check the structural integrity of the wall first. If the original render is hollow or blowing, it will need to be stripped back to the bare brick before a new finish can be applied.

Other pebble dash FAQ's
Do I need planning permission for pebble dash jobs?
You won't generally need planning permission to pebble dash your home or carry out repair work, provided the materials are in keeping with the current look of the property and neighbourhood. However, if you live in a listed building or a conservation area, you will almost certainly require approval from your local authority. It is always a good idea to speak with neighbours first, as rendering can drastically change a building's appearance.
What qualifications and insurance should my tradesperson have?
Pebble dashing requires a high level of specialist experience, but qualifications are not legally required for domestic work. Some top-tier renderers may hold City & Guilds qualifications or NVQs in plastering. More importantly, always check that your tradesperson holds active public liability insurance to protect your property against any accidental damage during construction.
What are the top questions to ask a pebble dash specialist before hiring?
To protect your investment, ask these key questions before work starts: Do you have a portfolio of previous pebble dashing work we can look at? Does your quote include the cost of scaffold hire and the tidy-up/disposal of loose stones? Can you offer a warranty on the render against cracking or blowing?

Hi my name is Tom I’ve been plastering for 20 years. I provide a clean helpful service and i do my up most to meet customers requirements
Tom came to skim my son's ceiling but because it had old artex and very uneven he decided to put a false ceiling in, board that and then skim it. Tom is a really friendly guy, kept showing me where he was up to in the job and was very tidy and did a great overall job at a good price. Wouldn't hesitate to use Tom again or recommend to friends and family.
Great customer service and a refreshingly honest tradesman.
