Borehamwood, Hertfordshire
Pebbledash & Roughcast in Borehamwood
New pebbledash and roughcast render — matching existing dash or specifying a fresh application.
Borehamwood 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 Borehamwood reflects the wider Hertfordshire pattern — Victorian and Edwardian housing, garden-city development and extensive modern commuter estates, and render refresh and colour change on well-maintained commuter housing.
The area sees a drier inland climate, which is the single biggest factor in how long any render lasts here. Welwyn and letchworth garden-city stock carries design constraints that affect colour and finish choices more than technical performance.
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 Borehamwood
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.
What time of year is best for rendering?
Spring through autumn is ideal. Render should not be applied in frost or in very hot direct sun, so winter work needs protection and settled conditions.
