What sets pebble dashing prices in Fareham

The wall decides it. A bigger area, a greater height and heavier stones each mean more render, more material and more hours of work.

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
  • Boundary walls get their own price, separate from the house.
  • Stone size and colour change how much dashing material is bought.
  • The stones are the finish, so no paint cost is included.

What happens on the day

A Fareham wall is dashed in one sitting because the stones need soft render to grip, and the work sits within the April to September season.

  • Wall cleared and framedThe face is cleared of dirt and framed with beads where the dashed finish should end, so edges at corners and windows come out straight.
  • Soft coat spreadRender is spread over the entire elevation and levelled while it is soft, so no patch has stiffened when the stones arrive.
  • Stones cast and wall restedStones are cast onto the coat until the cover is even, and then the wall is left alone to harden around them.

Fareham questions about pebble dashing

Still have a question?

Do you dash walls in Portchester and Stubbington?

Yes. House walls, extensions and boundary walls in Portchester, Titchfield and Stubbington are all taken on, with visits from our Winchester base.

How is pebble dash built up?

A render coat goes on first and stones are thrown into it while it is soft. As the render sets it holds each stone firmly in place.

Can a new wall be dashed to blend in?

That is the usual aim for extensions. Photos sent through Book Now let us see the existing finish and pick render and stones to suit.

Is there a time of year for this?

We schedule it between April and September, as the render has to stay workable for the stones and then dry steadily.

Does dashed render require paint?

No, the stones form the finish and the wall can be left as it is. Painting is possible later for a change of colour.
