Pebble Dash Spraying in Golders Green
Pebble dash resprayed across Golders Green — washed, repaired, stabilised and sprayed so every stone carries the colour.
It's one of the most common fronts in NW11, and one of the most common jobs we do.
What's involved
- 01Jet wash — algae, grime and loose flakes removed so the paint has a clean base.
- 02Tap test — hollow or blown areas found and marked for repair.
- 03Patch repairs — loose dash cut back and made good to match the surrounding texture.
- 04Stabiliser — chalky, powdery render sealed so the paint bonds instead of drinking in.
- 05Two sprayed coats — masonry colour built into the texture across two full coats.
Pebble dash in NW11
Between the station and the Heath Extension, the 1910s to 1930s semis are full of pebbledash fronts, often paired with rendered bays and painted mock-Tudor gables. Sprayed colour reaches into the texture where a brush only skims the stones.
Light shades soften the heavy texture these fronts are known for; darker greys modernise it. We can match the existing colour or move the whole front to something new.
Planning and permission
Homes bordering Hampstead Garden Suburb fall under some of the strictest exterior-change rules in London, so consent can be needed before repainting. We check with Barnet before quoting.
Questions & Answers
Is pebble dash common in Golders Green?
Very — the 1910s to 1930s semis around the station are full of pebbledash and rendered fronts, so we spray them year-round.
My front mixes pebbledash with render and painted gables — can you do it all?
Yes — we quote the whole elevation so the colours line up across every surface.
Will the colour reach into the stones?
Yes — that's why spraying beats a brush here: paint is carried into every crevice rather than skimming the high points.
Do I need consent near Hampstead Garden Suburb?
The Suburb's rules on exterior changes are strict — we check what consent is needed with Barnet before quoting.
What if patches of dash are hollow?
Small blown areas are cut back and made good first; if large sections have failed we'll say so and talk through re-rendering.
