Pebble Dash Across Scotland
Pebble dash is a traditional finish where small pebbles or stone chips are pressed into a wet base coat, giving a distinctive textured, often multi-coloured surface. We carry out pebble dash repairs, or render over an existing pebble dash finish.

About pebble dash
Pebble dash was widely used on Scottish and UK homes through the 20th century. Over time it can lose pebbles, crack, or simply fall out of favour with homeowners wanting a more contemporary look — both of which we can address.
Signs you need this
Pebbles falling away from the wall, cracking or hollow sections, or simply wanting to update the look of the property by rendering over the top are the most common reasons homeowners contact us about pebble dash.
Options
Options include patch-repairing damaged pebble dash sections, or rendering over sound pebble dash with a smooth, K Rend or silicone finish once it has been assessed and prepared. See our K Rend and silicone rendering pages for finish options.

Pebble Dash FAQs
Can pebble dash be rendered over? +
Often yes, provided it's a sound, stable substrate — loose or hollow sections need repair first, and a mesh-reinforced base coat is usually applied before the new finish.
Can you repair small areas of missing pebble dash? +
Yes, we can typically patch-repair localised areas, though matching the exact pebble mix and colour of an older finish isn't always possible.
Is pebble dash the same as roughcast? +
They're related but different techniques — pebble dash presses pebbles into a wet base coat, while roughcast/harl throws a wet aggregate mix onto the wall. See our roughcasting vs rendering guide.
