Pebble dash was a popular 20th-century solution for covering up damp or poor-quality brickwork, but today, it often hides the true character of London’s period homes.

Restore the classic London Stock or Red Rubber brick look that defines London's architecture.
Pebble dash often cracks over time, trapping water against the brickwork. This "trapped moisture" causes internal damp and structural decay.
In the London property market, an original brick facade is significantly more valuable than a pebbledashed exterior.
Once the non-breathable cement render is gone, your bricks can dry out naturally.
We don’t just “knock off” the render; we provide a full restoration service
We use specialized pneumatic chisels and hand tools to carefully vibrate the pebble dash away from the brick. Our focus is on “popping” the bond between the render and the brick without gouging the masonry.
After the bulk of the dash is removed, a layer of cement residue is often left behind. We use the DOFF Steam Cleaning system (150°C) to gently melt away this residue, cleaning the brick face without using harsh abrasives.
It is common to find damaged bricks or “cut” bricks underneath old render. We can replace damaged units with matching reclaimed bricks or use specialist tinting to ensure a uniform, natural look across the entire wall.

Costs typically range from £30 to £60 per square metre, depending on the thickness of the render and the condition of the bricks underneath. This usually includes the cleaning of the bricks after removal.
