Sheer hard graft:
Use masking tape to mask any brickwork/windows etc,sheet up windows/walls/paths/cars/neighbours cars/windows/dogs (4 legged).
Use a 4" yellow handle masonry brush for cutting in and use a long pile 6" roller (9" could be too heavy) that's best suitable for masonry/dashwork, working out of a paint scuttle if up ladders.
Load the roller generously, don't be skinny with the paint,don't thin if you want good coverage, don't use rubbish paint.
You wont go wrong with Johnstone's Stormshield smooth water-based masonry or Dulux weathershield.
Good luck.

I have just gone to look at the Johnstones website and came across this info on painting pebbledash/rough surfaces
