Hi all, I'm currently removing a coat of horrid pebble dash from my pennant stone cottage and need some advice re tools. I'm using an sds with chisel bit to hack the render off but I need the correct tools to rake out the mortar joint and also to remove the loose faces of the stone on some stone that was never rendered. I've seen people doing this locally using a little pick but can't seem to find where I can buy one in person rather than online - have tried screwfix, toolstation etc And I've seen a claw looking tool used to rake off the loose stone faces. Can anyone advise as to where I can go and buy a pick and also what the rake type tool would be called? Cheers in advance!
SDS Mortar chisel for joints, from the Heller one at competitor the best. https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/6x250mm-rake-sds-plus-for-steel/ Cheaper in competitor, but against rules to link to it. And a Scutch chisel & Scutch hammer are useful tools to have, can get different scutch combs for it. https://www.wonkeedonkeetools.co.uk/scutching-tools/scutch-hammer/
Ther claw like tool is is an arbortech saw - you can hire from Travis Perkins that will go really quickly through cement based mortar if you have soft mortar (lime or black ash) get one of these and a cheap angle grinder https://www.screwfix.com/p/mortar-rake-8-x-40mm/31307
