Pebbledash Removal in Sandown
Stripping tired pebbledash back to sound substrate and re-rendering in a modern smooth finish.
Sandown property owners come to us for pebbledash removal for one of two reasons: something has failed, or the house looks tired.
Most of what we see around Sandown reflects the wider Isle of Wight pattern — Victorian seaside villas, stone cottages and coastal bungalows, and salt exposure and driving rain on an island with no sheltered aspect.
Local conditions bring exposed maritime conditions on all sides, and that has a direct bearing on which systems are worth specifying. Being an island, every elevation is a weather elevation — there is no consistently sheltered side, which changes how a whole-house specification is planned.
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 Sandown
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.
