Would you paint pebbledash white?

[Newjeansrippedjeans]

our house is 1930s semi, pretty ugly on the outside if I'm honest. 🙄 All lovely original features inside. The pebbledash is a yellow brown across both sides of the house. Neighbouring houses have painted theirs white and looks quite nice! Would it look weird if we painted ours to match theirs but it didn't match the semi connected to us?

I generally prefer white pebbledash and think it might freshen up our house from the outside. But I don't always get these things right.

If the neighbours have painted theirs, you could as well.

You can also have pebbledash removed if it isn’t to your liking.

No it wouldn’t look weird, will just make your neighbours look even worse though,,,

Paint it white. It will look lovely

Paint it. Will look so much prettier. Doesn’t have to white though: my friend has done hers pink and it looks lovely.

It'll turn yellow in a couple of years. It looks lovely to start with tho

it's a bugger to paint though, so easy to miss a bit!

Won't the stones fall off?

I painted mine cream, it looks so much better, the key is to dab. It only took a few hours and it's so much brighter

Do it. We did ours a few months ago. Transformed the look of the house. Looks like a cottage now. I had hated the pebbledash for years. Most of our neighbours have theirs painted. I was going to do a different colour rather than white but it was more expensive. Still love it. Make sure whoever does it seals the pebbledash first. And no it doesn't go yellow within a couple of years, many of my neighbours have had theirs white for years.

It might encourage your neighbour to them match you !
‘on paper’ it should look a bit odd if next door is not painted but frankly it’s so common to see semis where one is and one isn’t I don’t think anyone would bat an eyelid.

We got ours removed. Worth every penny!

We have white pebbledash, it is a bugger to paint even with the paintbrush specifically for pebbledash. Buy the best exterior paint you can afford, well worth it to get an extra year or two before having to redo it.

Paint it, ours is cream and I love it so much more than the brown ones on the street. Many of the houses down our road are different colours to their attached neighbours, it's fine ☺️

We did ours this year. Admittedly it looks a lot better. I hadn't wanted to do it because now we will have to keep on re-painting it.

Our neighbours have just done theirs grey. It look great.
Ours ins that pinky white stone.

Would a spray paint of some sort work? I'm very interested, as in the process of buying a house with pebble dash, not only on the outside in white, but also inside, in a purple colour !!!!

I've seen pics of the house on streetview where the outside pebble dash was a white colour and it looks so much brighter, clean and fresh. Its currently dull, dirty and black in areas. It will look so much better, and might even prompt your semi neighbour to update theirs.

I did mine and it’s amazing . Looks like a new house .

I had a pebbled-dashed house (1930's built) and the 'pebbles' just fell off if you brushed it.
There are companies who specialise in spray painting houses. I think it is quite expensive partly because they have to mask everthing that is not to be painted, e.g. windows, downpipes etc.

Cream looks nice, too, and I’ve seen the odd dark blue, which can look fantastic.

IMO pebbledash always looks miles better for a coat of paint, esp. if it’s that tan-brown colour.

We're about to do this: thinking an off-white leaning towards cream, some of the ones on our road which have been done pure white look a bit start. The house is half brick, half quite yellow bricks so think the white needs to be warm.

Does anyone have any colour/brand recommendations?

Our neighbours at old house painted their pebbledash white and it looked so much better, think they painted whole of front white and transformed it.
