Pebbledash & Roughcast in West Glamorgan
New pebbledash and roughcast render — matching existing dash or specifying a fresh application.
West Glamorgan property owners come to us for pebbledash & roughcast for one of two reasons: something has failed, or the house looks tired.
Most of what we see around West Glamorgan reflects the wider West Glamorgan pattern — Victorian terraces, industrial housing and exposed coastal properties, and driving rain on Gower and Swansea Bay elevations. West Glamorgan sits in a part of the UK that gets very high rainfall with strong coastal exposure — worth factoring into any render decision.
Local factor. Swansea is among the wettest cities in the uk, and render specifications that hold up in the midlands are routinely under-specified here.
Is pebbledash & roughcast right for a West Glamorgan property?
Choose dash for exposed, coastal and high-rainfall locations, for matching existing dashed elevations, and where minimum maintenance matters most.
That decision gets made at the survey, not on the phone. We will tell you plainly if a different system would serve the building better — including when a cheaper one would.

FAQs
Pebbledash & Roughcast in West Glamorgan — questions
Can you match my existing pebbledash?
Usually. We source aggregate to match the original size and colour. An exact match on weathered dash is difficult, but a close match on a repair reads far better than smooth infill.
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.
