Pebble Dash Removal for Garstang Homes
Garstang has its share of dashed semis and bungalows, and taking that dash off is a job we're asked for constantly. The dash probably looked practical when it went on. A few decades of weather later it turns grey and brittle, and it dates a house like nothing else.
Getting the dash off is stage one; what happens next matters just as much. The bare brickwork gets a proper look over, anything that needs repairing gets repaired, and only then does the new render system go on. Silicone or monocouche, your call. The change on a dashed house is bigger than almost any other job we do, and most are finished inside a week.

- Dash that sounds hollow when tapped, a sign it's parting company with the wall
- Cracked old roughcast letting water sit behind the finish
- Brickwork underneath that needs pointing or patching before anything new goes on
- Dash that's been painted over the years, trapping moisture instead of solving anything
If your Garstang house still wears its original dash, get us out for a look before another winter gets into it. Stripping it and re-rendering costs less than most people expect, and you'll have a written price in hand before deciding anything.
Where We Cover in Garstang
Garstang changes character street by street. The town centre and the streets off the high street have stone cottages and older solid-wall properties, some of them well over a hundred years old. Around the edges you've got modern estates at Catterall and Bonds, mostly cavity-wall brick from the last few decades. Then out towards Churchtown and Great Eccleston it turns rural fast: farmhouses, barn conversions and detached houses sat on their own in open country.
Out here the walls face a different enemy to the coast. There's no salt spray, but the town sits in open farmland along the Wyre and the wind carries rain straight across it, especially onto west-facing walls with nothing to shelter them. Exposed rural properties take a hammering through winter, and frost bites harder inland than it does by the sea. Old cement render and tired roughcast on houses like these tends to crack, hold water and slowly blow, and that's most of what we get called out to around Garstang.
We work right across Garstang, including Catterall, Bonds and Churchtown, and out into the surrounding towns and villages.

Pebble Dash Removal Questions
For a typical 3-bed semi you're looking at roughly £3,000 to £6,000 all in, covering the strip, the brickwork repairs and the new render. The honest bit: the state of the wall under the dash affects the price, and nobody knows that for certain until it's off. We give free written quotes and we'll flag anything that might move the number.
Most houses take 3 to 7 days from start to finish. The strip itself is usually the first day or two, then brickwork repairs, base coat and the finish coat. A small bungalow sits at the quick end, a bigger semi with a lot of repair work at the slower end. We'll give you a proper timescale with the quote.
We won't lie, it's the messiest job we do. Stripping dash makes noise, dust and a lot of rubble. What we can control is where it ends up: we sheet up around the house, protect windows and paths, and clear the waste as we go, so you're not living on a building site any longer than the job takes.
