Careful mechanical removal of old pebbledash
Mechanical removal, worked in sections so the masonry isn't shocked.
Pebbledash Removal
Pebbledash was built to last, which is exactly why removing it properly takes the right tools and experience. We strip it back to a sound substrate without damaging the brickwork underneath.
Once removed, the wall is re-rendered in a smooth or textured modern finish, instantly refreshing the front of the property.

What's Included
Taking pebbledash off is the hard part. Doing it without wrecking the brickwork underneath is what separates a good job from an expensive repair.

Worth knowing
Pebbledash dates a house faster than almost anything else on the exterior. It was applied to millions of British homes as a cheap weatherproofing layer, and once it starts to blow and stain there is no cleaning it back to looking new.
Stripping it and re-rendering is one of the few jobs where the before-and-after is genuinely dramatic, and it usually lifts the value of the property by considerably more than the work costs.

FAQ
Find simple answers to all your common queries about organizing, budgeting, managing, and finishing London house remodels.
Depending on the size, state, specification, structural work, design needs, and finish level of the property, a complete London house makeover typically costs between £1,500 and £3,000 or more per square metre. Listed buildings, large renovations, high-end materials, and central London sites can drive up costs noticeably. A thorough property survey and written quote offer the most sensible projection.
The scope of the project, approvals, state of the property, material availability, and number of trades engaged all affect timelines. Renovations of a single room could last a few weeks; those of an entire house could span several months. Before construction starts, a thorough schedule should be decided.
Yes. We arrange surveys, design, authorizations, structural work, plumbing, electrics, construction, installations, decoration, and ultimate finishing. Our knowledgeable building crew helps to simplify communication, maximize cooperation between trades, and offer homeowners one point of contact during the makeover.
Look for good insurance, good references, recent work samples, clear written estimates, experience, and communication. Confirm what is covered, how deviations are handled, the likely timescales, amounts of payment, and who authorises. Value, quality, structure and dependability are also highly important, so don’t only opt for the lowest price
Many internal changes don’t call for planning permission. But extensions, significant outside modifications, loft conversions, listed structures, and homes in conservation zones might need listed building permission or planning permission. Even in cases where planning permission is not needed, Building Regulations approval may be important. Before work starts, requirements should be checked with the relevant London borough.
We flag anything unexpected as soon as we find it, explain the options and costs, and agree the way forward with you before continuing.
Yes. Our workmanship is guaranteed, and manufacturer warranties on materials and fittings are passed on to you at handover.
Often yes, depending on the work. We'll discuss which rooms stay usable, keep the site tidy and phase the work to limit disruption.
