We are a family-run business with over 30 years of experience applying exterior coatings across England. Our teams cover Essex regularly and understand the specific challenges that lowest rainfall in england (~550mm/year) 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. Essex's mix of post-war pebbledash estates (basildon 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 Essex 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 Essex property and fix it at no cost to you. No quibbles, no qualifications.

Most Essex 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 Essex's lowest rainfall in england (~550mm/year), this breathable waterproofing is particularly valuable. Damp protection is covered under the 20-year guarantee.

Basildon and Harlow new town pebbledash is among the most common work we carry out in Essex. This stock was built in the 1950s and 60s and the pebbledash render is extensively at end of life. We apply our coating system over the existing pebbledash without removal, binding loose aggregate, filling voids, and providing a long-term waterproof finish. It is significantly less disruptive and more cost-effective than full pebbledash removal.
