To remove pebble dashing? Or to put it on? Please don’t be the latter!

I don’t think anyone does pebble dashing now?
It’s known to cause structural and other issues long term so a bit of a no no

Yes to put it on we are a semi so am much as I would like render it would look silly and pebble dashing it better for weathering on property and we live on the top of a very steep hill so gets a fair battering

Does anyone have any prices ?

It really won’t look better than rendering.

If the other half of your semi is pebble dashed, more fool them. You don’t have to match them!

Please render it instead of pebble dash! Pebble dash always looks so gloomy and dull.

The cost will be the value of your house.

Can you post a photo of this desirable pebble dashing? I'm finding it very hard to picture nice looking pebble-dashing, and I know

Pebble dashing is not good, it's really not, there are other better solutions,

If you think there is nice pebble dashing can you post a pic?

I think people on here sometimes forget houses exist outside of England.

Most ex LA houses in Scotland are roughcasted/pebble dashed. Yes it looks shit but would possibly look even odder to be the only rendered house in the street.

No one is saying plenty of houses aren't pebble dashed, what's been said is it usually looks shite, can cause issues, and there are other solutions

And I'm Scottish,

I think OP has made it quite clear that it’s what she wants whether it’s because she just absolutely adores that classic council look or to just have the house blend in with the rest of the street.

It is ugly. No doubt about that. But most people just have it anyway.

Would love to hear other solutions other than rendering ?

The reason pebble dashing is used is to cover up unsightly brickwork so either way you need to have something.

Have you considered cladding?

Could be larch or cedar or composite boards?

Stone cladding? Grin

Unfortunately those options would stick out like a sore thumb I would like to have it rendered light grey but hubby thinks it would look too daft compared to the others and it's double the cost and surprisingly I'm not in love with pebble dash but there are some nicer colours such as very light and o do think some people have been quite rude on the council house comments

Someo has to start the trend?

Pebble dash doesn’t last forever, people will all be replacing it at some point

In terms of pricing, there's no way we could tell you! It would entirely depend on your area, how big your house is, how many walls you want it on, size of scaffold.

Just contact a few local builders.
