Pebbledash & Roughcast in Ballyclare
New pebbledash and roughcast render — matching existing dash or specifying a fresh application.
Our pebbledash & roughcast work in Ballyclare starts with a free survey, because guessing at a render specification is how jobs go wrong.
Across Antrim, Victorian brick terraces, harled cottages and postwar estates dominates, and driving rain and dash render failure on exposed elevations is what we are called out to most often.
With wet with strong Atlantic and Irish Sea exposure, specification matters more in this part of the country than a national price list suggests. Dash render is close to universal on northern irish housing, and matching existing dash is the most common requirement on repair work.
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 Ballyclare
What is the difference between pebbledash and roughcast?
Pebbledash (dry dash) throws dry chippings onto a wet coat, so the stones sit proud. Roughcast (wet dash) mixes aggregate into the render first, giving a more integrated, slightly softer texture.
Can you match my existing pebbledash?
Usually. We source aggregate to match the original size and colour. An exact match on weathered dash is difficult, but a close match on a repair reads far better than smooth infill.
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.
