Can you paint over pebbledash

And that is a good question for two reasons — aesthetically, patchy pebbledash is far from pleasing and practically, patchy pebbledash can allow heat out of your home and water into it.

As ever, the answer to this question depends on the ins-and-outs of the individual situation we will always dispatch a qualified surveyor to comprehensively assess your site before beginning work. Pebbledash can be covered though; it just has to be done so with a substance that is up to the job, which leads me to the next common question…. Paint, as a method of cover, is a no-go. Regular masonry paint is ill-equipped to create a protective weatherproof seal around brickwork.

Weatherproof wall coatings are another matter altogether however. Apply the initial coat with a masonry brush. The Hamilton Performance Masonry Brush is an excellent choice due to its hard-wearing bristles.

Start at the top, work downwards and around the edges. Ensure that the paint gets into the little undulations and pits. This stage is less challenging and may not take as much time as the first coat. The door frame, window sills and gutters are some of the areas that weather fast, so apply two or three coats around these sections. Can you remove pebbledash? If you are looking to get rid of pebbledash completely from your property, then it can be removed, but there are a few things to consider.

Underneath the render, their is little way to determine the condition of the property. The structure may be perfectly healthy underneath, however removing the render in some cases could reveal a whole host of issues. Because of this, it is crucially important that if you are planning on removing pebbledash, that you are prepared for the worst eventuality. It is possible to remove pebbledash yourself but it is a difficult task.

This means that it is your best option to get a professional to remove this, plus they will be most likely required to undertake any remedial work even if you managed to strip the pebbledash yourself.

The cost of this can vary. This does not include the remedial work or any painting of the property. Can you paint peddledash? Alternatively, can you paint pebbledash?

Yes, luckily you can paint over pebbledash! Having said this, it is known as one of the most difficult exterior surfaces to paint, so it is important to properly research this before undertaking to ensure you get the finish you are looking for. Firstly, let's talk about the tools you will need to paint pebbledash.

Many people ask, what paint should you use on pebbledash? This is what many 'sealants' do not do, they seal the surface completely which yes keeps rain out of the surface, but as moisture cannot escape from inside the wall, leads to substantial damage to the property. We cannot emphasise this enough! This is why Emperor Masonry Paint was developed, which creates a completely water repellent surface on exterior walls without affecting the breathability.

This allows the paint to remain completely unaltered in performance or aesthetic for longer than 25 years. In fact, while it is proven to last 25 years, we are so confident the paint will far exceed this, we actually offer a lifetime guarantee on Emperor Masonry Paint. Once you have the right exterior paint for the job, it's important to then get the correct equipment to apply it.

Ensure you get a long-pile roller, which is perfect for painting heavily textured surfaces as it can reach the gaps between the pebbles much more effectively than a standard roller. Furthermore, a specialist masonry brush with longer bristles will also help you find those tricky nooks and crannies.
