4.1. Surface Preparation.

Before any work began, the existing pebbledash was thoroughly cleaned and inspected. Any loose or unstable areas were addressed to ensure a sound base.

4.2. Base Coat Application.

First, we applied a specialist base coat. We started the render application process from this step, as it levels out the pebbledash texture, improves adhesion and creates a stable foundation for the spray cork system

4.3. Spray Cork Application.

When the base coat had cured, we applied the spray cork across the property evenly. Our experienced, fully qualified cork-spray render application team ensured a smooth, continuous finish by using professional spray render guns and the knowledge gained over years of similar projects.

Each elevation was carefully built up in controlled layers, allowing the material to bond seamlessly with the surface while maintaining its natural flexibility. This method not only delivered a refined, modern appearance but also created a breathable, weather-resistant coating that accommodates building movement and significantly reduces the risk of future cracking.

The entire process took two weeks, allowing for proper drying times and attention to detail.

Why Spray Cork Works So Well Over Pebbledash

Crack Resistance – Why Spray Cork Lasts Longer

One of the most common questions homeowners ask is, “Will this render crack again?”This is where spray cork really stands out. Spray cork stays flexible long after application. That flexibility allows it to move naturally with the building as temperatures change and the structure settles over time.

Because it absorbs movement instead of resisting it, the risk of cracks forming is significantly reduced. For properties that have already suffered from cracked pebbledash or failing render, spray cork provides a far more reliable, long-term solution.

Low Maintenance – A Finish That Looks After Itself

If you’re looking for a finish that doesn’t need constant attention, spray cork is ideal. Once applied, it requires very little maintenance compared to painted or traditional rendered surfaces. The colour is built into the material itself, so there’s no paint to peel, flake, or fade unevenly.

The surface naturally resists dirt, algae, and weather staining, helping the property stay looking clean and well cared for with minimal upkeep. For busy homeowners, that means fewer repairs and lower long-term costs.

Weather Protection – Ideal for Coastal Homes

Homes in coastal areas like Poole and Sandbanks are exposed to harsh conditions, including wind-driven rain, salt air, and fluctuating temperatures. Spray cork forms a protective yet breathable outer layer that shields the property from the elements without trapping moisture inside the walls.

This balance is key. While the surface repels water from the outside, it still allows the building to breathe, reducing the likelihood of damp issues and helping to protect the structure over time.

Modern Appearance – A Fresh Look Without Losing Character

Spray cork is an excellent way to modernise a property without stripping away its character. It creates a smooth, seamless finish that instantly updates the exterior.

In lighter shades like Arctic White, the result is bright, clean, and contemporary, enhancing kerb appeal and making the home feel refreshed and well maintained. It’s a simple change that has a big visual impact, especially when paired with modern windows and doors.
