Pebbledash & Roughcast in Esher
New pebbledash and roughcast render — matching existing dash or specifying a fresh application.
Esher property owners come to us for pebbledash & roughcast for one of two reasons: something has failed, or the house looks tired.
Across Surrey, tile-hung and timber-framed cottages, Victorian villas and substantial modern housing dominates, and high-specification smooth render and appearance-led refurbishment is what we are called out to most often.
The area sees a moderate southern climate, which is the single biggest factor in how long any render lasts here. Work here skews heavily toward discretionary upgrade rather than failure repair, so finish quality and colour matching carry unusual weight.
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 Esher
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.
