  • For what it's worth, we also have pebbledash painted over (In Catford too) and would love to get it brought back to brick and all proper. However, it's going to be really hard to get someone to give you a specific quote as before they remove the render and clean the bricks there is no way of telling if you'll need to replace 50 or 200 bricks on top of the quote for pebbledash removal and cleaning.

    We're planning on doing more of the essential work first before moving onto this further down the line.

  • Exactly the same boat as us, the lime rendering to cover up the damaged bricks help keep cost down and still look pretty good.

    Pebbledash should be a crime

    Quite a lot of the houses round here (early C20th) were originally roughcast or pebbledashed. People get it removed due to taste or mistakenly thinking they're 'restoring' the building only to find the bricks were never intended to be on show, and it shows.
