Wem, Shropshire
Pebbledash & Roughcast in Wem
New pebbledash and roughcast render — matching existing dash or specifying a fresh application.
If you are weighing up pebbledash & roughcast in Wem, the starting point is what your walls are actually built from.
The prevailing picture in Shropshire is timber framing, sandstone cottages and rural farm buildings. That means lime render on timber-frame and sandstone in a conservation-heavy county comes up more here than almost anywhere else.
Wem sits in a part of the UK that gets moderate rainfall with exposed upland conditions in the south — worth factoring into any render decision. Ludlow and shrewsbury hold large concentrations of listed timber-framed buildings where 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 Wem
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.
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.
