Pebbledash & Roughcast in Bridport
New pebbledash and roughcast render — matching existing dash or specifying a fresh application.
If you are weighing up pebbledash & roughcast in Bridport, the starting point is what your walls are actually built from.
Dorset is characterised by Purbeck and Portland stone, thatched cottages and substantial coastal housing, with salt exposure on seafront properties and lime work on heritage stone the recurring theme on the properties we survey.
Local conditions bring mild but exposed along the coast, and that has a direct bearing on which systems are worth specifying. Seafront elevations in weymouth and swanage take salt as well as water, which attacks render bonds far faster than inland weathering.
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 Bridport
Can you render over existing render?
Sometimes, if the existing coat is completely sound and well-bonded. We hammer-test it first. Anything hollow has to come off, because covering failure just hides it.
Are you insured?
Yes — full public liability cover, and we can send the certificate before we start. We are happy to provide RAMS for commercial and contractor work.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, with teams across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. If we are not the right firm for your location we will tell you rather than waste your time.
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.
