Pebbledash & Roughcast in Stroud
New pebbledash and roughcast render — matching existing dash or specifying a fresh application.
Stroud property owners come to us for pebbledash & roughcast for one of two reasons: something has failed, or the house looks tired.
Most of what we see around Stroud reflects the wider Gloucestershire pattern — Cotswold limestone, Regency terraces in Cheltenham and modern estate housing, and lime render on Cotswold stone and conservation-compliant specifications.
Stroud sits in a part of the UK that gets moderate rainfall with wetter conditions on the Cotswold escarpment — worth factoring into any render decision. Cotswold limestone is soft and porous, and a large proportion of the county sits within conservation areas where cement render is simply not permitted.
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 Stroud
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.
How much does rendering cost?
It is priced by the square metre and depends on the system, the condition of the walls and access. Our guide-price tool gives an indicative range in about a minute, and the survey turns that into a fixed written quote.
Do you offer a guarantee?
Yes. Every job carries our workmanship guarantee, and where a full manufacturer-specified system is installed you also get the system warranty on top.
