Macclesfield, Cheshire
Pebbledash & Roughcast in Macclesfield
New pebbledash and roughcast render — matching existing dash or specifying a fresh application.
We carry out pebbledash & roughcast across Macclesfield and the surrounding Cheshire area throughout the year.
Cheshire is characterised by black-and-white timber framing, Victorian brick and substantial modern housing across the commuter belt, with algae growth on shaded elevations and failed cement render on solid walls the recurring theme on the properties we survey.
The area sees a wet north-western climate, which is the single biggest factor in how long any render lasts here. Timber-framed and heritage stock around chester needs lime, while the surrounding modern housing suits silicone systems.
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 Macclesfield
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.
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.
