Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire
Pebbledash & Roughcast in Gerrards Cross
New pebbledash and roughcast render — matching existing dash or specifying a fresh application.
Pebbledash & Roughcast in Gerrards Cross is work we take on regularly, and the Buckinghamshire housing stock is a big part of why.
Most of what we see around Gerrards Cross reflects the wider Buckinghamshire pattern — period cottages and chalk-built properties alongside Milton Keynes new-town housing, and lime work on period stock and monocouche on newer estate housing.
With a moderate inland climate, specification matters more in this part of the country than a national price list suggests. The split between conservation-area period property and modern new-build is unusually sharp here, and the two demand opposite specifications.
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 Gerrards Cross
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.
Do you take a deposit?
For most domestic jobs we take a deposit to cover materials and scaffold, with the balance on completion. Terms are set out clearly in the written quote.
Can you match my existing render?
Usually, yes. We colour and texture match as closely as we can, though weathered render never matches a fresh batch exactly — we will be honest about how visible a patch will be.
Is pebbledash still used?
Yes, widely — especially in Scotland, Ireland and exposed coastal areas where its weather resistance is a genuine advantage.
