Lurgan, Armagh
Pebbledash & Roughcast in Lurgan
New pebbledash and roughcast render — matching existing dash or specifying a fresh application.
Pebbledash & Roughcast in Lurgan is work we take on regularly, and the Armagh housing stock is a big part of why.
The prevailing picture in Armagh is brick and stone terraces, rural cottages and modern estates. That means dash render repair and damp in solid-wall rural properties comes up more here than almost anywhere else.
The area sees wet with moderate inland exposure, which is the single biggest factor in how long any render lasts here. Rural solid-wall stock across the county needs breathable systems, while the towns are conventional dash-rendered brick and block.
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 Lurgan
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.
