Removing pebble dashing - is it possible?

One wall of my lovely Victorian house is pebble dashed. I long to see the exposed brickwork underneath though I am not sure how to go about trying to achieve this without making a complete mess of it and ending up with a multi-textured multi-coloured disaster.

I have put up with it until now as it is more dull yellow than stark Weetabix type of coating. Are there companies around who are able to scan walls in order to advise you whether removal would be worthwhile?

update:
Mahon looked at our house via Google and quoted £4 upwards (as £100/replacement b rick after 30). The costs could potentially explode.
We have decided to re-render and paint - not sure what products to use? What would best-practice be for a Victorian house?

We removed our pebbledash to see the brick face of the house but the work caused so much damage we had to have it rendered over.

Help! I want to sell my rental property to reinvest in other property and I can't understand the new capital gains rules! Can anyone help me? I've read that as long as you are reinvesting there isn't anything to pay. Is this right?
