We are a family-run business with over 30 years of experience applying exterior coatings across England. Our teams cover Dorset regularly and understand the specific challenges that ~800mm/year rainfall presents for masonry throughout the county. Every surveyor and application team member is a Pinnacle employee — we never use sub-contractors.

Most properties are suitable — rendered walls, pebbledash, brick, and stone can all be coated. Dorset's mix of victorian seafront terraces (bournemouth and other property types are all surfaces we regularly work on. The best way to find out is a free, no-obligation survey. Our surveyor will assess your property and give you a definitive answer at no cost.

Prices start from £3,500 for smaller properties and typically range to £12,000 or more for larger detached homes, depending on size, access requirements, and the condition of the existing exterior. We provide a fixed price after surveying your Dorset property — no hidden costs and no pressure to proceed.

Every job comes with a full 20-year guarantee. If anything covered by the guarantee fails during that period, we return to your Dorset property and fix it at no cost to you. No quibbles, no qualifications.

Most Dorset homes take 3–7 days to complete depending on size and the condition of the existing exterior. Larger properties or those requiring significant preparation work can take up to two weeks. Our team works continuously on your property — we do not split the crew between multiple jobs at once.

In the vast majority of cases, yes. Our coatings create a fully waterproof but breathable barrier that prevents water ingress while allowing any moisture already in the wall to escape. Given Dorset's ~800mm/year rainfall, this breathable waterproofing is particularly valuable. Damp protection is covered under the 20-year guarantee.

Yes — Victorian and Edwardian rendered terraces in Bournemouth, Weymouth, and Swanage are among the most common properties we treat in Dorset. These properties face the Channel directly and the render has typically been painted multiple times, building up layers that eventually crack and pull away. We prepare the surface thoroughly, consolidate any loose render, and apply our 20-year coating system to provide a finish that handles the Channel salt environment.
