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.

    • Hey fellow cat owners! Was hoping that you would consider putting collars with bells on your outside cats? I’ve wee fledglings in a nest and at the moment I’m defending them against an orange and white dude (I call him Trump) and his nemesis, a lovely Tuxedo cat (I call Elon)… they are quite the double act in my back garden!!!! It would give the wee ones a bit of a better chance if a bell could announce their approach. And as a feline owner myself, I know cats will be cats, but every little helps even the odds. many thanks.
