Pebbledash & Roughcast in Edinburgh
New pebbledash and roughcast render — matching existing dash or specifying a fresh application.
If you are weighing up pebbledash & roughcast in Edinburgh, the starting point is what your walls are actually built from.
Across Midlothian, Georgian and Victorian stone terraces, tenements and modern estates dominates, and conservation lime work on Edinburgh stone and harling repair is what we are called out to most often.
With cold easterly exposure with frequent frost, specification matters more in this part of the country than a national price list suggests. Edinburgh's world heritage core carries some of the strictest conservation requirements in britain, and only lime specifications will get consent.
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 Edinburgh
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.
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.
