Pebbledash repair in Teignmouth

Pebbledash (or roughcast) is that textured exterior finish common on older properties across Devon. When it gets damaged - whether from impact, weathering, or water ingress - it needs fixing properly to prevent bigger problems.

We handle pebbledash repairs of all sizes, from small patches where something's hit the wall to larger areas where the render's failed. The trick is getting the repair to blend with the existing finish, which takes a bit of skill and the right materials.

### Common Pebbledash Issues

| Problem | Cause | Repair Approach | |---------|-------|-----------------| | Small cracks | Settlement, impact | Fill and re-texture | | Hollow areas | Water damage, poor adhesion | Remove loose render, re-apply | | Large patches missing | Impact damage, render failure | Build up layers, match texture | | Ongoing cracking | Structural movement | Assess cause, flexible repair if appropriate |

### How We Repair It

**Assessment**: We check what's caused the damage and whether the underlying wall needs attention. No point patching render if there's a damp problem behind it.

**Preparation**: Remove any loose or damaged render back to sound edges. Clean and prepare the surface for new render to adhere properly.

**Application**: Build up render in layers if needed, allow drying time, then apply the final textured coat and throw on matching pebbles/aggregate while it's still wet.

**Matching**: We'll try to match your existing pebbledash colour and texture. This is never perfect - the existing render has weathered for years - but we can get reasonably close.

Pebbledash repair is messier than some jobs. There'll be dust from removing old render and bits of aggregate on the ground, but we clean up properly afterwards.
