Before we quote in Cambuslang
As well as Cambuslang itself, we quote in Rutherglen, East Kilbride and Glasgow. Cambuslang sits around 3 miles from East Kilbride. West Central Scotland has sandstone tenements, interwar and post-war council housing including no-fines and other system-built types, and many harled (roughcast) houses.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Lanarkshire: 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.
Before quoting Cambuslang pebble dash jobs, we tap-test each elevation and mark any hollow areas.

Permissions in Scotland
Scottish householder rules mean many Cambuslang jobs that change the outside of a house need a planning application; we confirm the position before quoting.
Over-cladding work in Scotland often needs a building warrant from the council's building standards service, with Section 6 of the Technical Handbooks setting insulation benchmarks.
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 Cambuslang: 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.
Do you cover Cambuslang?
Yes — we survey and quote pebble dash covering in Cambuslang (G72) and nearby Rutherglen, East Kilbride and Glasgow, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
