pebble dash removal

Recommended Posts

Mahon took the pebbledash off the front of our house, the best money we have ever spent, it transformed our house. We had been led to believe it was a difficult process, but it was remarkably straight forward (about 3 weeks from beginning to end of the process, including complete repointing).


They have worked on a number of houses in the area, all look great.

The last pebbledash-fronted house I had, I rendered over it and painted it. Probs cost about ?2k all in. Painting over pebbledash could cost half as much (guessing?), but you obviously wouldn't get the smooth rendered finish.


I'm not a fan of the pebbledash look, especially if there are some red/yellow London stock bricks hiding underneath.


The only slight concern by taking off the pebbledash is that you might uncover the reason why it was pebbledashed over in the first place, but I doubt it'd be anything brick restoration guys couldn't sort out.


Pebbledash removal & cleaning up whatever lies beneath can set you back in the region of ?2k - ?2.5k

Repointing the brickwork can be anything between ?2.5k-4k depending on whether you go for decorative or standard pointing (or a mixture of both)

Then painting whatever needs painting can cost another ?1k.

It's not tricky at all!


I've been in my house twenty years, which has painted pebbledash at the front, and it's been painted two or three times during that period, it's quite straightforward!


I personally hate unpainted pebbledash, but I don't mind it too much when it's painted. I would prefer brick, but I'm not willing to pay to have the pebbledash removed.

    • We’l be getting our annual building work done soon (roof ridge tiles redone and the chimney stacks repointed). Mrs Bob says she’ll liaise with the builders and that I should get out from the house so I don’t bother them with inanities. So I’ll be off camping to the Fort again for the Summer - June, July, August, whilst they get on with it. I’ll be in my Decathlon Arpenaz 4.1 fresh and black tent. I’ll have a campfire every Friday night like I usually do.
