Pebble Dash Removal for Lytham St Annes Homes
Plenty of good period and inter-war homes in Lytham St Annes got dashed decades ago, and on a street of handsome brick and smooth render, an old grey dash front sells the house short. Small wonder that removing it is one of the jobs we quote most often here.
Careful stripping is the whole game on walls like these. Rip dash off an older solid wall carelessly and it pulls the face off the brick with it, so we take it back gradually, repair whatever the bare wall shows us, and finish with a modern render system. We've had over 15 years of practice at doing it properly.

- Dense old dash bonded hard to solid brick that has to come off gradually
- Cracked or spalled bricks hiding underneath, needing repair before re-rendering
- Previous patch-ups where the dash was redone in a different stone and texture
- Damp sitting behind blown sections of dash on exposed elevations
On houses this good, getting rid of tired pebble dash is one of the best-value jobs going. Done right, the house looks like it always should have. We'll tell you honestly whether yours should be stripped or rendered over.
Where We Cover in Lytham St Annes
Lytham St Annes has some of the best housing stock on the Fylde Coast. Substantial Edwardian villas and period semis around Lytham and Ansdell, big detached homes towards Fairhaven, and rows of solid older properties behind the seafront at St Annes. Plenty are already rendered or pebble-dashed, and some streets are conservation-sensitive, so finishes need to be neat, in keeping and done with care.
Lytham St Annes gets a softer version of the weather that hammers the north end of the coast, but it still tells on walls. St Annes takes the Irish Sea head-on across the beach and dunes, while Lytham sits on the Ribble estuary, calmer but still salty. Painted render dulls and flakes, old cement render cracks and lets damp track into solid walls. On houses this age, small render problems become internal plastering problems if they're left.
We work right across Lytham St Annes, including Lytham, St Annes, Ansdell and Fairhaven, 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.
