Pebbledash Removal in Milton Keynes
Stripping tired pebbledash back to sound substrate and re-rendering in a modern smooth finish.
Our pebbledash removal work in Milton Keynes starts with a free survey, because guessing at a render specification is how jobs go wrong.
Most of what we see around Milton Keynes reflects the wider Buckinghamshire pattern — period cottages and chalk-built properties alongside Milton Keynes new-town housing, and lime work on period stock and monocouche on newer estate housing.
With a moderate inland climate, specification matters more in this part of the country than a national price list suggests. The split between conservation-area period property and modern new-build is unusually sharp here, and the two demand opposite specifications.
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 Milton Keynes
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.
Can you match my existing render?
Usually, yes. We colour and texture match as closely as we can, though weathered render never matches a fresh batch exactly — we will be honest about how visible a patch will be.
