Dry dashing, commonly known as pebble dashing, is a traditional and highly durable exterior finishing technique used on residential properties throughout Ireland. The process involves applying a suitable mortar or render coat to the external wall before clean stone aggregate is thrown or pressed onto the wet surface. Sheridan Plastering provides professional dry dashing services throughout Kildare and South Dublin, helping homeowners achieve an attractive and hard-wearing exterior finish.

One of the main advantages of dry dashing is its combination of durability and appearance. The stone aggregate creates a textured exterior that can help conceal minor variations in the underlying surface while providing a distinctive decorative finish. Depending on the aggregate selected, homeowners can achieve different colours, textures and visual effects.

Dry dashing is suitable for a range of residential applications, including new builds, extensions, renovations and exterior refurbishment projects. It can also be used when updating an existing property where the homeowner wants to improve the appearance of the external walls without choosing a completely smooth render finish.

Sheridan Plastering takes care with every stage of the dry dashing process, from preparing the background through to applying the render and achieving a consistent aggregate finish. We understand that exterior work needs to look good from both close and distant viewpoints, particularly across larger elevations.

We work with homeowners and building projects across Kildare and South Dublin, providing professional advice and workmanship based on the requirements of each property.
