Turriff, Aberdeenshire
Pebbledash & Roughcast in Turriff
New pebbledash and roughcast render — matching existing dash or specifying a fresh application.
Getting pebbledash & roughcast right in Turriff depends far more on the substrate and the exposure than on the product name.
The prevailing picture in Aberdeenshire is granite terraces, farm cottages and exposed coastal housing. That means harling repair on granite and frost damage on exposed elevations comes up more here than almost anywhere else.
With cold, exposed North Sea conditions with severe frost, specification matters more in this part of the country than a national price list suggests. Aberdeen granite is dense and unforgiving, and traditional harling rather than smooth render is what has historically worked on it.
When pebbledash & roughcast is the right call. Choose dash for exposed, coastal and high-rainfall locations, for matching existing dashed elevations, and where minimum maintenance matters most.

FAQs
Pebbledash & Roughcast in Turriff
Does pebbledash need painting?
No. The aggregate provides the colour and finish. It can be painted, but that then commits you to a repainting cycle it did not previously need.
How long does a rendering job take?
A typical three-bedroom semi is usually one to two weeks on site including scaffold, preparation, application and finishing. Weather, wall condition and the system chosen all move that.
Do I need planning permission to render my house?
Usually not on a standard house, but you will if the property is listed, in a conservation area, or if rendering would significantly change its appearance. We flag it at survey.
Will you need scaffolding?
For anything above single storey, yes — it is safer and produces a better finish than working off ladders or towers. Scaffold is included and itemised in the quote.
How long before I can paint new render?
Through-coloured systems need no painting at all. Sand and cement should cure for around 28 days before masonry paint goes anywhere near it.
