My house is completely pebbledashed.
Looking around at other pebbledashed houses there appears to be four approaches to how the bottom of the wall is finished.
1. Dash all the way to the base of the wall (i.e. where it meets the driveway/ground) or even below the level of the earth
2. Dash down to a bead/edge then render below the bead/edge to the drieway/ground
3. Dash down to a bead/edge then black paint below this to the ground (is this a special paint?)
4. Dash down to a bead/edge then clean brickwork below this to the ground
Does anyone know why/when these different approaches are taken please?
In some of these approaches, it seems the DPC is ignored and dashed/rendered/painted over? Does this no give rise to possible rising damp problems?
Does anyone know of a good guide to all this stuff?
Thanks in advance for any help/guidance you can give.
