Hi all, Im hoping you can help me out. Im trying to identify the stone on the front of my house, and suggest any options that I have for removing / covering or just options.

I dont beleive its cladding, as other houses in the street you can see the full stone in depth.
The house has pebbledash on other parts of the house, but this stone front at the front window.

I want to tidy up the house, and hoping you maybe able to help me identify these and any options I have.

thanks Tom

doesn’t matter what stone it is. clad with pvc or render over it.
 
If your house is made of stone, you can't remove it.
You can cover it, but it may make it stick out among the others

If the house is on it's own, which I doubt, external insulation might be one way?
Or paint

The rest of the house is covered in Pebbledash, its just this area, I imagine it has a breezeblock inner lining, and this is the external "for show" piece.
I don't think its a thin cladding, I believe this section of the house is fronted with these stones.

I'd rule external insulation out, as the house is already warm enough, (too warm for my liking)

The issue is that these stones, protrude out further than the pebbledash, so just cladding ontop would give a 2" or more step from pebbledash, to this.

Painting could be an option, but is there a particular name for this, that could help me look into ways of covering, removing, etc. That I could take away to research?


Thanks Tom
