There are many properties in London that are pebble dashed and ready for sale. However, the ratio proportion in between the seller and buyer is very different. The reason being, people are not ready to put in their money on such houses whose outer walls are covered with pebbles. Mounting the colorful stones on the walls may look beautiful at the starting. However, as the time passes, the entire covered layers start developing cracks. This makes the cladding fall down in bits and pieces ruining the look of the building. Another explanation behind fewer buyers for such properties is the urge to live in a property that exudes old-world charm. In addition, painting pebble dash is very time-consuming, difficult and expensive. Therefore, the practice of pebble dash removal London is catching up rapidly.

If you are yet not able to finalize a house for any of the above reasons, it is recommended that you stop scouting anymore since, the cladding can be removed easily; however, this can be done only by experts. The only difference between mounting and removing pebble dash is that the former act is easier and the latter is very difficult. This is because one has to take precautions for not damaging the bricks in the process. You just need to use the right tools and technique to remove pebble dash. If you are of the kind who would not mind in spending a few hundred dollars, then hiring a professional brickwork specialist is the best option. This way, you can save time, labor, and achieve what you are longing for.

If you are bent on giving it a try, you need to check the wall thoroughly. The level of difficulty would depend how deep or well is the bonding between the pebble and the plaster. Just tap the wall gently with a hammer. If you hear a hollow sound, then it is confirmed that the pebble has loosened its grip and will come off easily. In case the tap does not produce any hollow sound, then it is guaranteed that the bonding between the brick and the pebble is still strong. This means, the difficulty level goes up by a few notches. You have to work for more time with a hammer and chisel in such areas. If you are not a habitual user of these tools, your hit on the pebble could be more damaging than favorable.

Moreover, the activity of pebble dash removal london is more convenient in the interior than the exterior. A thick sheet is used for spraying pebble, which is then mounted on the interior walls with the help of screws. This mounted sheet is then removed by loosening the bolts and pulling out gently with a pry bar. This technique cannot be used on the outer walls since the pebble dashing is done by throwing the pebbles with force; either manually, or through a machine to the plaster wall.

The main work starts after removing the pebble dash as you can see how much damage you have caused to the bricks by then. The damage is more likely where the pebbles were well bonded. You will see the conditions of the bricks in a bad state. This happens because the bricks had hold onto the cement more firmly, or the process of removing the pebble has taken its toll. If you are lucky to not have caused much damage, then it is fine and well. Otherwise, you will have to re-render the complete wall.

So, instead of trying it yourself and then add to the cost further, it is better to get the pebble dash removal London done by the professionals.
