Newton Aycliffe, County Durham
Pebbledash & Roughcast in Newton Aycliffe
New pebbledash and roughcast render — matching existing dash or specifying a fresh application.
Pebbledash & Roughcast in Newton Aycliffe is work we take on regularly, and the County Durham housing stock is a big part of why.
The prevailing picture in County Durham is stone terraces, former colliery housing and postwar estates. That means frost damage to failed render and blown coats on exposed northern elevations comes up more here than almost anywhere else.
With cold winters with significant frost cycling, specification matters more in this part of the country than a national price list suggests. Freeze-thaw is the dominant failure mechanism here, so water getting behind render does far more damage than it would further south.
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 Newton Aycliffe
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.
