Pebbledash Removal in Stonehaven
Stripping tired pebbledash back to sound substrate and re-rendering in a modern smooth finish.
We carry out pebbledash removal across Stonehaven and the surrounding Aberdeenshire area throughout the year.
Most of what we see around Stonehaven reflects the wider Aberdeenshire pattern — granite terraces, farm cottages and exposed coastal housing, and harling repair on granite and frost damage on exposed elevations.
With cold, exposed North Sea conditions with severe frost, specification matters more in this part of the country than a national price list suggests. 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 Stonehaven
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.
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.
