pebbledash

Hi, I've bought a 1930's semi in Surrey, we've got rising damp. The house has pebbledash rendering, I can see a few previous holes drilled through the render for a damp proof course, so I can use those again, but they only go around half the house. They must have been drilled after the...

Old 1902 house. Recently moved In and just had the first heavy rain. Concerned how the pebbledash seems to soak up the water. I’m aware the gutter needs looking at directly above the down pipe but I can’t figure out the other patch’s other than them being near a structure door window etc…...

Hello I am in the process of constructing a pitched roof over my porch. It was flat bitumen previously which was old and failed. The house is pebbledash finished. The question I have is whether you would typically remove the pebbledash to fit the rear wall plate tight against the brickwork. Or...

Hi there, I'm concerned about some building work I've had done and thought I'd get some public (and hopefully expert) opinion on it. I've removed an internal wall to make my bathroom bigger at the cost of my bedroom. Unfortunately there was a window effectively spanning that wall. So I've had...
