Crieff: walls, weather and approvals
We cover Crieff and nearby Perth, Alloa and Stirling. Crieff is about 16 miles from Perth. Tayside has stone tenements and terraces in the towns, harled cottages and post-war estates.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Perth and Kinross: 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 Crieff pebble dash jobs, we tap-test each elevation and mark any hollow areas.

Planning and building control in Scotland
In Scotland, permitted development for external wall changes is narrower, so in Crieff we check with the council's planning team where the appearance changes, and always for flats, tenements and conservation areas.
Where a building warrant is needed for Crieff 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 Crieff: 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.
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.
Do you cover Crieff?
Yes — we survey and quote pebble dash covering in Crieff (PH7) and nearby Perth, Alloa and Stirling, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
