ProGuard Exteriors were appointed by a returning builder client to refresh and protect a semi-detached pebbledash property in Headington, Oxford. The existing exterior needed cleaning, repair and a long-lasting insulated coating system that would retain the original pebbledash surface while improving the overall appearance of the home.

Overview

This CorkSol pebbledash transformation was completed on a semi-detached property in Headington, Oxford. The house had an existing pebbledash exterior that required professional preparation, cleaning and repair before a new coating system could be applied.

The aim of the project was to refresh the exterior, repair blown and defective areas, blend the pebbledash texture back into the surrounding finish, and apply a durable insulated spray cork coating system in the customer’s chosen colour.

Our Response

The project began with a full pressure clean of the property to remove dirt, algae and surface contamination from the existing pebbledash. This preparation stage was essential to expose any defective areas and ensure the walls were clean, stable and suitable for the next stage of the works.

Following cleaning, blown areas were identified and repaired using a premium base coat with reinforced mesh. This helped create a stronger and more stable surface before the finish was reinstated. To maintain the original character of the property, Tyrolean was then used to recreate and blend the pebbledash texture into the surrounding elevation, helping the repaired sections sit naturally within the existing finish.

All windows and doors were carefully protected throughout the works before the walls were primed ready for application. This was completed as an overspray project, with no insulation boards installed, allowing the existing pebbledash surface to be retained while still benefiting from the CorkSol spray cork coating system.

The gallery above showcases this Headington CorkSol pebbledash transformation, including full pressure cleaning, repair of blown areas, reinforced mesh base coat repairs, Tyrolean texture blending, priming, and three coats of CorkSol in Vanilla.
