Fakenham, Norfolk
Pebbledash & Roughcast in Fakenham
New pebbledash and roughcast render — matching existing dash or specifying a fresh application.
We carry out pebbledash & roughcast across Fakenham and the surrounding Norfolk area throughout the year.
The prevailing picture in Norfolk is flint and brick cottages, Norfolk carrstone, thatch and coastal housing. That means lime render on flint and clunch, coastal exposure on the north Norfolk coast comes up more here than almost anywhere else.
With the driest county in England with cold easterly coastal exposure, specification matters more in this part of the country than a national price list suggests. Flint walls need lime because the mortar does the work, not the stone — cement on flint causes the face to spall off in freezing weather.
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 Fakenham
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.
How long does a rendering job take?
A typical three-bedroom semi is usually one to two weeks on site including scaffold, preparation, application and finishing. Weather, wall condition and the system chosen all move that.
Do I need planning permission to render my house?
Usually not on a standard house, but you will if the property is listed, in a conservation area, or if rendering would significantly change its appearance. We flag it at survey.
Will you need scaffolding?
For anything above single storey, yes — it is safer and produces a better finish than working off ladders or towers. Scaffold is included and itemised in the quote.
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.
