Pebbledash removal and re-rendering in Elm Park, Hornchurch and Dagenham. Old dash off, wall made good, silicone render on. Fixed quotes, scaffold included.
Nearly every house on the Elm Park estate went up in the 1930s wearing pebbledash, and it is the single thing that dates a frontage most. Taking it off is a bigger job than it looks, what is underneath decides the price, but it is also the change that makes a house look thirty years younger in a week.
Because so many Elm Park semis are identical, the rendered houses on a street set the standard buyers compare against. Taking the dash off is also the chance to deal with what it was hiding, such as hairline cracks around the bay and blown patches by the front door.
You cannot know until it is off, which is why an honest quote for this job has two parts. We price the removal and the render, and we tell you what a bad substrate would add before we start rather than after.
Only if you want it to. On the Elm Park estate most houses are still dashed, so a smooth silicone render stands out, which is usually the point. We can also match a neighbouring finish if you would rather it blended.
On a typical Elm Park semi, about a week for a full front and side, weather permitting. Removal is the noisy couple of days; the render itself goes on faster than people expect.
Almost always. Removing dash and rendering safely at height needs a proper scaffold across the whole elevation, and it stays up until the new finish has cured.
The removal can, but new render needs a stretch of dry weather above freezing to cure properly, so most homeowners book the work between spring and early autumn.
The old coat comes off and we look at what is behind it before quoting the render. That is where the cost actually lives.
Cracks, blown patches and old repairs sorted first. Rendering over bad substrate is how you end up doing it twice.
Modern render that sheds water and does not need painting every five years.
Access, sheeting, and every bit of the old dash taken away. It makes a mess and the mess is ours.
The angled faces of the bays rendered with beads at every corner, so the lines stay sharp.
Dash and old render removed into skips daily, with paths and front gardens kept usable.
