Musselburgh, Midlothian
Pebbledash & Roughcast in Musselburgh
New pebbledash and roughcast render — matching existing dash or specifying a fresh application.
We carry out pebbledash & roughcast across Musselburgh and the surrounding Midlothian area throughout the year.
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.
Local conditions bring cold easterly exposure with frequent frost, and that has a direct bearing on which systems are worth specifying. 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 Musselburgh
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.
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.
