Pebbledash Removal in Nairn
Stripping tired pebbledash back to sound substrate and re-rendering in a modern smooth finish.
If you are weighing up pebbledash removal in Nairn, the starting point is what your walls are actually built from.
Inverness-shire is characterised by stone cottages, croft houses and highland rural properties, with frost damage and driving rain on remote highland properties the recurring theme on the properties we survey.
Nairn sits in a part of the UK that gets severe highland conditions with heavy rain and hard frost — worth factoring into any render decision. Altitude, remoteness and severe frost cycling combine here to make breathable lime harling the only durable specification on traditional stock.
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 Nairn
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.
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.
