  • Small stones dashed onto the wet coat

What happens on the day

Alton dashing is planned around the render staying wet, which is why a wall is covered and dashed in one continuous spell.

  • Scrub and borderDirt is removed from the wall and beads are fitted to mark where the finish ends, which keeps the lines crisp at corners and frames.
  • Wet render laidThe coat is spread across the entire face and levelled before any part sets, so stones can bed in everywhere.
  • Stones thrown onStones are thrown at the soft render until the wall is evenly covered, and the wall is then left to harden without being touched.

Alton questions on pebble dashing

Still have a question?

Is pebble dashing done in Alton?

Yes. We dash house walls, extensions and garden walls in Holybourne and Anstey, coming from our Winchester base.

How are the stones secured?

They are pressed into soft render. As it cures it locks each stone in, so the dash becomes part of the wall.

Can I match the dash on my house?

New walls can be dashed to sit with the old. Photos sent through Book Now show us what is needed. Ask in the chat when you book and we will explain how it applies to your house.

Which months suit this work?

April to September, when the render stays workable for the stones and then dries steadily. Photos sent through Book Now help us judge the job before we visit.

Do I need to paint after?

No. The stones are the finish. Painting later is only a choice if you want another colour. Tell us what you want when you book and we will say what suits the wall.
