Transform Your Pebble Dash Home

Thousands of Essex homes were pebble-dashed decades ago, and many owners assume it all has to be hacked off before the property can be rendered. In most cases it does not. We mechanically fix reinforcement mesh over the existing dash and apply a modern base coat and premium silicon finish directly over it — saving days of messy removal work and significant cost, without compromising the final result. During the site visit we check that the existing dash is sound; where it is not, we will tell you honestly and price the right approach instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Silk Render Ltd’s services.
Do I need to remove my pebble dash before rendering?

In most cases, no. We render directly over existing pebble dash using a pinned mesh system, which saves the time and cost of removal without compromising the finish. During the site visit we check the condition of the existing surface and advise honestly on the best approach for your property.

Silicon render is a premium, self-coloured finish that is flexible and breathable. It resists cracking, repels dirt and rain, and keeps its colour without repainting – which is why it is our recommended finish for Essex homes. It is available in a wide range of colours.

We only install manufacturer-approved systems from SPS Enviraul, Balmet and Atlas. Premium products, properly installed, are what make a render last – we never use budget materials.

Pinned mesh is reinforcement mesh that is mechanically fixed to the wall rather than simply bedded into the base coat. It gives the render far better resistance to cracking and movement. It is a step many contractors skip – we do it on every job.

Yes – we arrange scaffolding as part of the service, working with a trusted scaffolding professional so your project is completely turnkey. You do not need to organise anything yourself.
