Before we quote in Motherwell
Surveys in Motherwell also cover the surrounding ML1 district and towns such as Bellshill and Hamilton. Motherwell is about 7 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 Motherwell pebble dash jobs, we tap-test each elevation and mark any hollow areas.

Is it better to insulate over pebble dash?
If you're paying for scaffolding and a new finish anyway, adding insulation costs more but improves comfort considerably on solid or non-traditional walls. On cavity walls, check whether the cavity is filled first.

Cover pebble dash in Motherwell: 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.

Yes — we survey and quote pebble dash covering in Motherwell (ML1) and nearby Bellshill, Hamilton and Wishaw, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
