    Because the councilor's cousin owns a pebble-dash company?

    Pebble dash might be the very least of your worries in 6 months time!

    Actually does anyone know a way to remove pebble dash easily and cheaply .....1 internal garage wall... plasterboard over it is the obvious solution but if it can be removed I'd rather do that.

    Would there be a way to object to it before it's put on, surely they would need planning to change from smooth plaster to pebble dash



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,934 ✭✭✭RichardAnd


    They likely already have the planning permission. There is a period for objections before work begins, but I believe that once that closes (and the objections are ignored....usually), construction begins. If they're about to apply the dash, it's rather too late to object.

    As mentioned above, I would probably be more concerned about what will soon be inside the house as opposed to the exterior.

    I doubt planning permission is needed?

    Many houses on my mid 1980s road were originally half brick, half smooth, but a few of the neighbours have had exterior insulation done and then had a fine pebbledash finish put over it. It looks very well, actually thinking of doing the same to my own.

    One of them is a county councillor!

    Nothing more ugly than pebbledash. Well apart from tiling the whole front of the house that came in in the 70s.

    Check with the planners and see what they say, but i dont recall anyone ever getting planning permission who i know of who changed the render on the front of their house.

    Why oh why do they choose this shite that only makes a house harder to paint?

    Go and buy a decent yard brush if your neighbour is putting on pebbledash. For a good few years you’re going to be cleaning up the loose pebbles that fall onto your side.

    You can get fine texture pebble dash nowadays that comes in different colours and is maintenance free. No painting needed.

    Pebble dash is sturdy, maintenance free.

    Not a fan myself.

    Remember the shills only get paid when you react to them.
