Pebbledash Removal in Cardigan
Stripping tired pebbledash back to sound substrate and re-rendering in a modern smooth finish.
Pebbledash Removal in Cardigan is work we take on regularly, and the Dyfed housing stock is a big part of why.
Dyfed is characterised by stone farmhouses, lime-washed cottages and exposed coastal housing, with driving rain penetration on solid stone walls the recurring theme on the properties we survey.
The area sees very high rainfall with severe Atlantic exposure, which is the single biggest factor in how long any render lasts here. West wales takes the full force of atlantic weather, and lime-washed roughcast remains the traditional and technically correct answer to 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 Cardigan
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.
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.
