Heath plastering and rendering does pebble dashing on the outside walls of houses around Winchester, throwing small stones onto a wet render coat so they set into a rough, even surface. ## Pebble dashing price The price depends on the area of wall, how high it rises and the stones chosen. A whole house, a gable end and a garden wall are each a different amount of work. - Pebble dashing: Price on request - The area of wall and its height decide how long the render coat and the dashing take. - Each elevation or wall can be priced as its own job, so a garden wall does not ride on the price of the house. - The size and colour of the stones change the material needed for the job. ### 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 ### Not included as standard - Painting the finished wall afterwards - Repairs to the roof, gutters or windows - Removing an existing pebble dash finish ## When to book pebble dashing Pebble dash covers outside walls in a rough stone finish that hides marks and suits many older and newer homes. - **A wall that needs covering:** Brick, block or patched masonry is given a render coat with stones set in it, so the wall reads as one even surface. - **Matching the house:** Extensions and garden walls can be dashed to look like the existing walls of the house. - **A hard wearing face:** The stones give the render a rough surface that stands up to knocks along paths, drives and side passages. ## What happens on the day Pebble dashing is planned for April to September, because the render coat has to be wet when the stones go on and then cure. - **Prepare the wall:** The wall is cleaned and the edges are set out with beads, so the dashed surface stops cleanly at corners and openings. - **Lay the render coat:** A render coat goes onto the wall and is levelled. It stays wet long enough for the stones to bed into it. - **Dash the stones on:** Small stones are thrown onto the wet coat so they stick across the wall, then the render is left to cure. ## How booking works 1. **Tell us about the job:** Tap Book Now and describe the work in the chat.

Pebble dashing is a render coat with small stones thrown onto it while it is wet. The stones set into the render and leave a rough surface. ### Can pebble dashing go on a garden wall? Yes. A garden wall can be dashed to match the house, and it is priced as its own job. ### When is pebble dashing done? Rendering is planned for April to September, when the weather suits it. The coat needs to stay wet for the stones, then cure. ### Does pebble dash need painting? The stones are the finish, so it can be left as it is. Some owners choose to paint a dashed wall once it has cured. ### Can an extension be pebble dashed to match the house? Yes. New blockwork can be rendered and dashed so the extension sits with the existing walls of the house. ## Business facts - Service area: Winchester, Andover, Basingstoke, Southampton, Newbury, Alton, Fareham, Chandler's Ford, Kingsclere, Bishop's Waltham - Calls: Calls answered 24/7 - Phone: +447868284623 - Email: team@heath-plastering-and-rendering.co.uk ## Book or ask a question - [Book Now](https://heath-plastering-and-rendering.co.uk/#chat) ## Related services - [Wall and ceiling repairs](https://heath-plastering-and-rendering.co.uk/services/wall-and-ceiling-repairs) - [Skimming and re-skimming](https://heath-plastering-and-rendering.co.uk/services/skimming-and-re-skimming) - [Plasterboard and dry lining](https://heath-plastering-and-rendering.co.uk/services/plasterboard-and-dry-lining) - [Artex removal and smoothing](https://heath-plastering-and-rendering.co.uk/services/artex-removal-and-smoothing) - [External wall rendering](https://heath-plastering-and-rendering.co.uk/services/external-wall-rendering)
