Pebble dashing price factors in Southampton
Wall size leads the figure. Height and stone choice follow, since both change how much render goes on and how long the dashing takes.
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
- Garden walls and house walls are priced apart.
- Bigger or differently coloured stones change the material bought.
- No decorating cost appears, as the stones are the finish.
Pebble dashing across Southampton
We serve Southampton from our base in Winchester.
What happens on the day
In Southampton the dashing is arranged so the stones meet render that is still soft, which means a wall is finished in a single continuous session.
- Prepared and borderedThe wall is scrubbed free of dirt and bordered with beads. These mark where the stones stop, whether at corners, windows or ground level.
- Render spread evenlyThe coat is laid over the full elevation and smoothed out. Working it all at once means no part has dried before the stones arrive.
- Stone applicationStones are thrown against the soft render until coverage is even. The wall is then left untouched for the render to harden around them.

Book NowPhotos of our work
WhatsAppIs pebble dashing offered in Southampton?
Yes. We dash walls in Shirley, Portswood, Bitterne and Woolston, covering houses, extensions and garden walls, and we travel from Winchester.
What is pebble dash made of?
A render base with small stones pressed into it while it is wet. Once the render sets, the stones form a rough, durable outer skin.
Can you match an existing wall?
For new masonry the render and stones are chosen to sit alongside the house. Photos sent via Book Now let us see what needs matching.
What months suit dashing?
April to September. The render has to remain workable for the stones and then dry steadily afterwards.
Is paint needed on top?
No. The wall is finished once cured. Painting is a choice for later and is not part of the work. Photos sent through Book Now help us judge the job before we visit.
