Before we quote in Farnborough
We cover Farnborough and nearby Camberley, Aldershot and Fleet. Farnborough sits around 39 miles from Southampton. Homes across the South East range from inter-war semis and post-war estates, which are mostly cavity-walled, to older solid-walled cottages and Victorian town terraces.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Hampshire: 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 Farnborough, we price both a render-over and an insulate-over option.

England: planning and regulations
Planning in Farnborough follows England's national rules: similar-looking finishes on houses are usually permitted, while flats, commercial premises, conservation areas and streets under an Article 4 direction need an application.
Insulating or re-rendering more than half of a wall's area brings in Part L of the Building Regulations, so building control is notified and the wall is upgraded to about 0.30 W/m²K where practical.
Can you render over pebble dash?
Yes, if it's well bonded. The surface is cleaned, any loose patches removed and repaired, then a levelling base coat with mesh goes over the stones before the finish. This is cheaper and less disruptive than removing the dash.

Cover pebble dash in Farnborough: questions
Will the stones show through?
No. A levelling base coat with mesh fills over the stones before the finish goes on.
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.
Is it cheaper to cover pebble dash or remove it?
Covering is usually cheaper and less disruptive, as long as the dash is sound.
