What is the difference between roughcast and pebbledash?

The difference between roughcast and pebbledash boils down to this:

Pebbledash uses dry pebbles thrown onto a render base, creating a more textured look.

Roughcast mixes small stones into the render before it’s applied, giving a slightly smoother and more uniform finish.

While they look slightly different, both finishes offer solid protection for exterior walls – particularly on older homes and coastal properties.

What are the disadvantages of pebbledash?

While pebbledash does an excellent job of holding up to the UK weather elements, it does have its disadvantages:

• It can crack over time
• Traps dirt over time
• It can become patchy (if poorly applied)
• It isn’t to everyone’s taste, which can affect kerb appeal

Can you roughcast over pebbledash?

Yes, you can roughcast over pebbledash, but only if the existing pebbledash is stable and well-bonded.

An experienced renderer will advise on the condition before applying any render. If the old dash is loose or failing, it usually needs removing first.

Does pebbledash devalue a house?

While some buyers prefer a smoother render, a good-quality and well-maintained pebbledash won’t devalue your home. Anything that protects the property’s exteriors and helps prevent damp issues can only be a good thing.
