  • Going to look at this tomorrow, very compliant with the @amey method of theft prevention.

    Has anyone done pebbledash removal? Googling suggests it would cost maybe £4-5k in Londons famous London.

    It also needs that silly roof removing, the stonework over the porch restoring and probably a new sash roof building unless it's under there...

  • £4-5k

    Does that include raking out the mortar, re-pointing and repairing any damaged bricks?

    That looks Victorian, so the bricks will be relatively soft (particularly the reds) - taking the cement off them will take a lot of the brick face.

    Keeping in mind also that render / pebbledash is a quick & dirty way to cover up structural / cosmetic problems.

  • Shame those mullions are gone, and the nice window heads.

  • I can send you details of pebbledash removal company, did mine and recommended to others - good team think it was £2k all in (Inc scaffold). Think you've seen my place but it looked very much like that and we didn't have any horror stories.

    Apply appropriate sheeting to scaffolding where necessary
    Safely remove pebbledash from brickwork
    Rake out existing mortar to a consistent depth of 20mm
    Clean brickwork, removing mortar stains and any build up of carbon deposits
    Replace damaged brickwork with matching yellow stocks (10 included in quote, £8 per item thereafter)
    Repoint brickwork in NHL 3.5 lime mortar to replicate original in a traditional Flush finish
    Remove bagged debris/waste from property leaving front garden clean
