"Absolutely brilliant from start to finish. The lads stripped the pebbledash off our Victorian terrace without a single damaged brick. Tidy, polite and exactly when they said they'd be. Couldn't recommend them more highly."

A typical pebbledash or render removal job runs through these five stages. We'll talk you through each one before we start.
- 01Inspection
We assess the substrate, identify cracks, hollow sections and any underlying brick or block damage before quoting.
- 02Surface prep
Sheeting goes up, windows and ground are protected, scaffold is erected where needed for upper floors.
- 03Mechanical removal
Pebbledash and render are removed in controlled sections using pneumatic chisels — taken back to a sound substrate.
- 04Repairs & repointing
Damaged bricks are cut out and replaced. Mortar joints are raked and repointed where required.
- 05Re-rendering or finish
Optional silicone, monocouche or sand-and-cement render — or a clean repointed brick finish if preferred.

Before / after — the difference is real
Pebbledash dates a property. The right finish — clean repointed brick, smooth silicone render, or a modern through-coloured monocouche — can take 20 years off a house's appearance and meaningfully lift its value.

Real 5-star reviews from local homeowners.
"Had our 1970s semi stripped and re-rendered in silicone. The transformation is incredible — looks like a brand new house. Honest pricing, no surprises, and the finish is spot on."
"They actually talked us out of a full re-render and just removed the failed render and repointed instead — saved us a fortune. Honest tradesmen are hard to find. Five stars without hesitation."
"Brilliant job removing the old dash and prepping the walls for insulation. Site was left immaculate every evening. Communication was top-notch throughout. Top local firm."
"From quote to completion they were professional, fair and skilled. The monocouche finish on our detached looks fantastic and we've had neighbours stopping to ask who did it. Highly recommend."
Frequently asked questions
How much does pebbledash removal cost in Swindon?+
Most semi-detached homes in Swindon land between £2,500 and £6,500 for full pebbledash removal, depending on house size, scaffold needs and substrate condition. See our pebbledash removal cost page for a detailed breakdown.
Will removing pebbledash damage my brickwork?+
Done properly with mechanical chisels and a careful eye on substrate condition, brickwork is generally fine — though older Swindon homes sometimes have softer Victorian brick that needs repointing or selective replacement after removal. We always inspect before quoting.

Yes — pebble dash removal, roughcast removal, sand and cement render removal, and external render removal are all part of the same trade. One team, one quote.
How long does a typical job take?+
A standard 3-bed semi takes 5–10 working days from scaffold up to clean substrate, depending on weather and whether you're re-rendering afterwards.
