Lime pebbledash?

[NT]

Has anyone tried lime based pebbledash? does it work? Can the stones be cleaned without washing the lot off?

I appreciate that I'm probably being dim - but what on earth is all that poll thing about?

I like the sound of Roger though...

The Poll is a vote.

You click in the radio button for the choice you wish to make.
You can only vote once in a poll.

As for the items in the poll, I've never heard of them NT, so no vote from me.

If the pebbeledash is flicked on then the result lightly washed, will the lime be ok with this treatment, or will there be excess loss of lime?

If lime render is applied then stones flung, I would guess they would be weakly stuck, but I've never tried it.

I use pea gravel for harling, which is almost pebbles.
In Scotland they use hydraulic lime for harling, so it would be pretty tough. whether it be with gravel, pebbles or rough-stuff. The last roughcast I did was with NHL3.5, so there's little chance of that being washed away.

And as for liking the sound of Roger - who doesn't? But this is a sensible, family-oriented forum. Or maybe it's time I got my coat...

Well I thought harling contained pebbles, but I tried to find info and nothing said so. I need a trip over the border obviously on a fact-finding mission.

The Scottish Lime Centre I have no doubt will have info...

heh. I guess I got my answer there.

That poll makes as much sense as... er... much of British politics. Just felt like playing with the poll feature
