Pebbledash & Roughcast in Tewkesbury
New pebbledash and roughcast render — matching existing dash or specifying a fresh application.
Tewkesbury property owners come to us for pebbledash & roughcast for one of two reasons: something has failed, or the house looks tired.
Gloucestershire is characterised by Cotswold limestone, Regency terraces in Cheltenham and modern estate housing, with lime render on Cotswold stone and conservation-compliant specifications the recurring theme on the properties we survey.
With moderate rainfall with wetter conditions on the Cotswold escarpment, specification matters more in this part of the country than a national price list suggests. 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 Tewkesbury
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.
Does pebbledash need painting?
No. The aggregate provides the colour and finish. It can be painted, but that then commits you to a repainting cycle it did not previously need.
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.
