Pebbledash Removal in Keith
Stripping tired pebbledash back to sound substrate and re-rendering in a modern smooth finish.
Getting pebbledash removal right in Keith depends far more on the substrate and the exposure than on the product name.
Moray is characterised by harled cottages, sandstone terraces and coastal fishing housing, with harling repair and coastal weathering on the Moray Firth the recurring theme on the properties we survey.
Keith sits in a part of the UK that gets drier than the west but cold with coastal exposure — worth factoring into any render decision. The moray coast is drier than the west of scotland but takes hard frost, so freeze-thaw rather than saturation is the dominant failure route.
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 Keith
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.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, with teams across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. If we are not the right firm for your location we will tell you rather than waste your time.
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.
