Pebbledash Removal in Aberdeenshire
Stripping tired pebbledash back to sound substrate and re-rendering in a modern smooth finish.
We carry out pebbledash removal across Aberdeenshire and the surrounding Aberdeenshire area throughout the year.
Most of what we see around Aberdeenshire reflects the wider Aberdeenshire pattern — granite terraces, farm cottages and exposed coastal housing, and harling repair on granite and frost damage on exposed elevations. Aberdeenshire sits in a part of the UK that gets cold, exposed North Sea conditions with severe frost — worth factoring into any render decision.
Local factor. Aberdeen granite is dense and unforgiving, and traditional harling rather than smooth render is what has historically worked on it.
Is pebbledash removal right for a Aberdeenshire property?
Choose removal when pebbledash is cracked, stained or dated and you want a contemporary smooth or scraped finish rather than a repair.
That decision gets made at the survey, not on the phone. We will tell you plainly if a different system would serve the building better — including when a cheaper one would.

FAQs
Pebbledash Removal in Aberdeenshire — questions
What is underneath pebbledash?
Usually a cement backing coat over brick or block. It often conceals older repairs, damaged brickwork or previous damp problems, which is why we assess the substrate before rebuilding.
How much does rendering cost?
It is priced by the square metre and depends on the system, the condition of the walls and access. Our guide-price tool gives an indicative range in about a minute, and the survey turns that into a fixed written quote.
Do you offer a guarantee?
Yes. Every job carries our workmanship guarantee, and where a full manufacturer-specified system is installed you also get the system warranty on top.
What time of year is best for rendering?
Spring through autumn is ideal. Render should not be applied in frost or in very hot direct sun, so winter work needs protection and settled conditions.
Can you render over existing render?
Sometimes, if the existing coat is completely sound and well-bonded. We hammer-test it first. Anything hollow has to come off, because covering failure just hides it.
Are you insured?
Yes — full public liability cover, and we can send the certificate before we start. We are happy to provide RAMS for commercial and contractor work.
