Question

Is subsidence more difficult or easier to detect if a house is covered in pebble dash?

Answer 1

It won,t make any difference,the cracks will still show.If ,as adduno says ,it has been freshly done outside and decorated inside ,beware.

Answer 2

It doesn't make a great deal of difference.  The first symptoms are that the plaster inside the house cracks.  By the time you can see the damage outside, you'll have some pretty big holes inside.

Answer 3

harder

Answer 4

only if it's just been done

is the house in a mining area?

Answer 5

I would always bee wary of a property covered in either render or pebbledash. It usually hides something bad!

Answer 6

If you have subsidence, it will show inside as well as outside. Cracks in the walls etc. Door frames out of line, floorboards running down.
