Pebble dashing price points in Chandler's Ford

Wall size leads, followed by height and stone choice. Each changes how much render is mixed, how much material is bought and how long the job lasts.

Included

  • Cleaning the wall and checking it will hold render
  • A render coat applied to the wall
  • Small stones dashed onto the wet coat
  • Corner and reveal beads where the wall needs them
  • A garden wall is priced separately from the house itself.
  • Stone size and colour vary the material ordered.
  • The stones are the finish, so paint is not part of the price.

What happens on the day

Dashing in Chandler's Ford hinges on timing, as stones only grip soft render, so each wall is worked in a single run within the April to September months.

  • Clean down and set edgesThe wall is cleaned and beads are fixed to show where the dashing ends, which gives neat borders at corners, frames and the base.
  • Lay render wetA render coat covers the whole face and is smoothed in one session, so every part can still take stones when they are thrown.
  • Throw stones, then restStones are thrown against the wet coat until it is covered evenly. The wall is then left to harden with nothing touching it.

Chandler's Ford questions about pebble dashing

Still have a question?

Is pebble dashing offered in Hiltingbury?

Yes. We dash house walls, extensions and garden walls in Hiltingbury, Valley Park and Fryern, travelling out from our Winchester base.

What keeps the stones attached?

They sink into soft render, and as that render hardens it locks around every stone. The two then behave as one surface.

Can an extension match the main house?

Usually, yes. Send photos through Book Now so we can see the existing wall and choose render and stones that sit well beside it.

Can dashing happen in colder months?

We keep it to April through September, since the render needs to stay workable for the stones and then dry in steady weather.

Do I have to paint afterwards?

No. The wall is done once cured because the stones are the finish. Paint is only an option if you want another colour later.
