How hard is it to remove pebbledash without damaging the brickwork underneath?

Wayne · Answer

Depends on how well it was don.the mix.
But with a holy gun you can glide along the face of the brick and not damage it

Michael · Answer

Pretty difficult if using a sds breaker to be honest I usually chip away at some work underneath but there's also more accurate albeit time consuming ways around it like hammer and boltster

Stephen · Answer

It shouldn’t be very hard you going get a bit off damage are you plastering back over it if so I wouldn’t worry to much about damage

Billy · Answer

Hi all depends if the render is lose and boss already . Few times I have been caugh out removing render when it’s hard and damaged the brickwork underneath . Personally wouldn’t chip any render off unless it was falling off already

Chris · Answer

I recommend using a SDS drill with the chisel bit, the pebble dash and cement should come off easy enough , once you do it, you’ll feel a definite harder surface and that is the brick

Sam · Answer

It all depends on how well the render has bonded to the brick. Sometimes it comes off without damaging the brickwork but sometimes it doesn’t


 Theres only
One real way of finding out and thats by removing some

David · Answer

Is it on brick or block, either  way it will be a bugger,better to render on top of it

Andrew · Answer

It is very hard to remove pebble dash roughcast if it is very firm I’m not loose I’d leave it on and go straight away with something else like a modern Render history

You should only take off the buster board quietly, you must have work experience

Wayne · Answer

Hi Jenny 

Firstly do a test patch .
Start on the corner of the house as it will be easier to get behind the pebble dash and render it sits in .
I would use an SDS drill and a spade paddle.
A). If you want to expose brick work to show off permanently you will see what it dose when you pull it off . If you don’t want to proceed you can patch it back up . 
B). If your wanting to render it after removal of pebble dash , being the wall isn’t pulling down with it a little de-face of brick will not matter .

Damien · Answer

You don’t need to take it back to the brick work if re-plastering so no real damage.
