Pebbledash Removal in Luton
Stripping tired pebbledash back to sound substrate and re-rendering in a modern smooth finish.
We carry out pebbledash removal across Luton and the surrounding Bedfordshire area throughout the year.
Across Bedfordshire, Victorian terraces in Luton and Bedford alongside large 1960s-80s estates and newer commuter developments dominates, and cement render cracking on 1960s estate housing and tired pebbledash on interwar semis is what we are called out to most often.
With a drier eastern climate with modest annual rainfall, specification matters more in this part of the country than a national price list suggests. Clay subsoils across much of the county mean seasonal movement, so movement joints and mesh reinforcement matter more here than the rainfall alone suggests.
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 Luton
How long does a rendering job take?
A typical three-bedroom semi is usually one to two weeks on site including scaffold, preparation, application and finishing. Weather, wall condition and the system chosen all move that.
Do I need planning permission to render my house?
Usually not on a standard house, but you will if the property is listed, in a conservation area, or if rendering would significantly change its appearance. We flag it at survey.
Will you need scaffolding?
For anything above single storey, yes — it is safer and produces a better finish than working off ladders or towers. Scaffold is included and itemised in the quote.
How long before I can paint new render?
Through-coloured systems need no painting at all. Sand and cement should cure for around 28 days before masonry paint goes anywhere near it.
Do you take a deposit?
For most domestic jobs we take a deposit to cover materials and scaffold, with the balance on completion. Terms are set out clearly in the written quote.
