Calne, Wiltshire
Pebbledash Removal in Calne
Stripping tired pebbledash back to sound substrate and re-rendering in a modern smooth finish.
We carry out pebbledash removal across Calne and the surrounding Wiltshire area throughout the year.
The prevailing picture in Wiltshire is Bath and chalk stone cottages, Georgian townhouses and modern estates. That means lime render on chalk, clunch and Bath stone in conservation areas comes up more here than almost anywhere else.
Calne sits in a part of the UK that gets a moderate inland climate with exposed downland — worth factoring into any render decision. Chalk and clunch are extremely soft and porous, and rendering them in cement causes the stone itself to break down behind the render.
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 Calne
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.
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.
