Spray cork is a natural cork-based coating that’s sprayed onto external walls.

It creates a protective, weather-resistant finish that also helps improve comfort and appearance.

It’s very different from paint or traditional render.

Yes, in most cases it can.

If the pebbledash is sound and well bonded, spray cork can be applied directly over it without removing the wall first.

This is one of the main reasons homeowners choose it.

Usually, no.

We assess the wall before any work starts. If it’s in good condition, there’s no need to hack it off, which avoids noise, dust, skips, and major disruption.

No.

Spray cork is a textured cork-based coating, not paint.

It forms a protective layer on the wall rather than just colouring the surface.

It’s much less likely to.

Spray cork stays flexible, which allows it to move with the building as temperatures change. This reduces the chance of cracks forming over time.

It can help, depending on the cause.

The finish repels rain while still allowing moisture vapour to escape from the wall. This can reduce conditions that lead to damp patches and black spot in some homes.

Ventilation and heating habits still matter, and we’re always honest if spray cork isn’t the right solution.

It adds a layer of insulation, but it’s not the same as thick insulation boards.

Cork naturally resists heat loss, so external walls often feel warmer and more stable once it’s applied. Many homeowners notice improved comfort rather than dramatic heating changes.

It’s designed to shed driving rain.

Water runs off the surface instead of soaking in, which helps protect the wall underneath while still allowing it to breathe.

Yes.

Spray cork works particularly well on older properties where breathable finishes are important. It’s often chosen as a gentler alternative to modern renders.

It’s made for long-term external use.

The finish is UV stable, holds its colour well, and doesn’t peel or flake like paint. With normal conditions, it requires very little maintenance.

Most jobs are completed much faster than a full re-render.

Because there’s no demolition, the process is cleaner and quicker, with far less disruption around your home.

Yes - dramatically.

The sharp, dated pebbledash texture is softened into a clean, even finish that instantly improves kerb appeal, while still suiting the style of the property.

Not always.

That’s why we inspect the walls first. If spray cork isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you. The goal is the right solution, not forcing one.
