W & J Plasterers have experience in apply all forms of external render. There are four main types of finish outlined below. Each has its own unique look which is useful when trying to blend new render/dash with existing buildings.

Dashing

Dry dash and pebble dash are different descriptions for the same thing. It is essentially a rough textured finish created when a suitable sized aggregate is thrown onto a freshly applied coat of mortar and left exposed. Dry dash comes in a range of sizes and colours.

Wet Dash or Roughcasting

The process W & J Plasterers utilise for wet dashing is almost identical to applying a dry dash finish, the only difference being that the chippings are not exposed but mixed in with the mortar to create the finish above. Again wet dash is available in a range of colours.

External Renders

External render or coloured plaster is a product applied in one or two coats directly onto block work or a base coat.
