Tiling pebbledash?

[Betweenthetracks]

Hi,

I have a large pebbledash wall painted in white masonry paint. I'd like some decorative porcelain tiles attached to it (around 1m2 not the full wall). Is it possible to have tiles laid directly onto the pebbledash without it being removed, or alternatively could exterior grade tile board be attached and the tiles placed on that?

Thanks.

Is this inside or outside?

Can you have the wall rendered/plastered first before tiling?

It's outside. I wasn't intending to have the wall rendered as it's just a partial area of tiling (unless that smaller area can just be plastered).

Your idea for a board to tile on sounds good - because in the fullness of time someone might want the tiles gone revealing the original dashed wall. It would always be a patch, and never match if you took some dash off
