Pebbledash & Roughcast in Uppingham
New pebbledash and roughcast render — matching existing dash or specifying a fresh application.
Our pebbledash & roughcast work in Uppingham starts with a free survey, because guessing at a render specification is how jobs go wrong.
Rutland is characterised by limestone and ironstone cottages and village housing, with lime render on soft local stone in a heavily conservation-controlled county the recurring theme on the properties we survey.
The area sees a dry inland climate, which is the single biggest factor in how long any render lasts here. England's smallest county is almost entirely built in soft local limestone and ironstone, so lime is the default rather than the exception.
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 Uppingham
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.
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.
