    Hi. The front boundary wall to our terraced house is pebbledashed and my segment of the wall has been painted over at some stage in the past. I would like to remove this paint to give the boundary a more uniform look. I was going to try a power washer. Any other ideas? I don’t want to destroy the pebbledash in case I do manage to get the paint off. As pebble dash goes, it’s actually pretty decent and suits the character of the road (1950s)

    A sand / grit blaster might be better. The problem with power washers is they force water into the wall and can damage it, although it's more of a concern in frosty weather. However, they can still damage the surface.

    Consider sealing he wall afterwards.

    You might want to use a chemical paint stripper before blasting, something along the lines of this
