Dashing became popular after the war when skilled plasterers were in short numbers.
it allowed unskilled guys to render so if it looks rough it will be more authentic.

Be surprised how many still want it! Not my cuppa tea but done well it should look neat and uniform, I bet there's not many on here that would know where to start with it!

your plumbers worse than your plasterer
 
That doesn’t look good at all regardless of wither it’s getting painted. Between two windows at top is very rough and to the bottom left of pipes looks like there’s big bald patches with no stones

That a granate stone very hard stone to dash darker the backing coat the better
 
its a dry dash pearl grey stone with granite sand looks like roughcast from a distance but a lovely stone up close to be honest , whilst i wouldnt say im 100% happy with the finish it has settled quite a bit and doesnt look anywere near as patchy now , thanks for feedback
