Pebbledash Removal in Fraserburgh
Stripping tired pebbledash back to sound substrate and re-rendering in a modern smooth finish.
Fraserburgh property owners come to us for pebbledash removal for one of two reasons: something has failed, or the house looks tired.
Aberdeenshire is characterised by granite terraces, farm cottages and exposed coastal housing, with harling repair on granite and frost damage on exposed elevations the recurring theme on the properties we survey.
Local conditions bring cold, exposed North Sea conditions with severe frost, and that has a direct bearing on which systems are worth specifying. Aberdeen granite is dense and unforgiving, and traditional harling rather than smooth render is what has historically worked on it.
When pebbledash removal is the right call. Choose removal when pebbledash is cracked, stained or dated and you want a contemporary smooth or scraped finish rather than a repair.

FAQs
Pebbledash Removal in Fraserburgh
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.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, with teams across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. If we are not the right firm for your location we will tell you rather than waste your time.
Can pebbledash be rendered over instead of removed?
Sometimes, if it is completely sound and well-keyed, using a levelling basecoat. But if any of it is blown, covering it just traps the failure — removal is the safer route.
