Pebbledash & Roughcast in Londonderry
New pebbledash and roughcast render — matching existing dash or specifying a fresh application.
Our pebbledash & roughcast work in Londonderry starts with a free survey, because guessing at a render specification is how jobs go wrong.
Most of what we see around Londonderry reflects the wider Londonderry pattern — Victorian terraces, harled cottages and exposed north-coast housing, and driving rain and salt on north-coast properties. The area sees wet with severe Atlantic exposure on the north coast, which is the single biggest factor in how long any render lasts here.
Local factor. The north coast around portstewart takes direct atlantic weather, and dash finishes substantially outperform smooth render there.
Is pebbledash & roughcast right for a Londonderry property?
Choose dash for exposed, coastal and high-rainfall locations, for matching existing dashed elevations, and where minimum maintenance matters most.
That decision gets made at the survey, not on the phone. We will tell you plainly if a different system would serve the building better — including when a cheaper one would.

FAQs
Pebbledash & Roughcast in Londonderry — questions
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.
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.
