Pebbledash & Roughcast in Maghera
New pebbledash and roughcast render — matching existing dash or specifying a fresh application.
Our pebbledash & roughcast work in Maghera starts with a free survey, because guessing at a render specification is how jobs go wrong.
The prevailing picture in Londonderry is Victorian terraces, harled cottages and exposed north-coast housing. That means driving rain and salt on north-coast properties comes up more here than almost anywhere else.
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. The north coast around portstewart takes direct atlantic weather, and dash finishes substantially outperform smooth render there.
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 Maghera
How long before I can paint new render?
Through-coloured systems need no painting at all. Sand and cement should cure for around 28 days before masonry paint goes anywhere near it.
Do you take a deposit?
For most domestic jobs we take a deposit to cover materials and scaffold, with the balance on completion. Terms are set out clearly in the written quote.
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.
