Before we quote in Peterhead
As well as Peterhead itself, we quote in Inverurie, Aberdeen and Buckie. Peterhead sits around 27 miles from Aberdeen. North East Scotland has granite and stone-built homes, harled cottages and post-war estates, with exposed coastal settings along much of it.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire: sheltered town streets fare better than walls on high ground or facing the prevailing weather, and the render, beads and cill details are chosen with that in mind.
If you're covering pebble dash in Peterhead, we price both a render-over and an insulate-over option.

Planning and building control in Scotland
Scottish householder rules mean many Peterhead jobs that change the outside of a house need a planning application; we confirm the position before quoting.
Where a building warrant is needed for Peterhead work, it's obtained before installation starts, and the quote says who arranges it.
When does pebble dash need removing?
Where it's widely hollow, cracked or letting water in, or where the wall underneath needs to be inspected or repaired. Removal is dusty and noisy and can damage the face of soft bricks, so it's not the default.

Cover pebble dash in Peterhead: questions
Is it cheaper to cover pebble dash or remove it?
Covering is usually cheaper and less disruptive, as long as the dash is sound.
Can I paint pebble dash instead?
You can, but it doesn't fix hollow areas or cracks, and paint on dash often needs redoing every few years.
Will the stones show through?
No. A levelling base coat with mesh fills over the stones before the finish goes on.
Do you cover Peterhead?
Yes — we survey and quote pebble dash covering in Peterhead (AB42) and nearby Inverurie, Aberdeen and Buckie, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
