Outside wall around back Yard

[minckle]

Hi, I'm totally new to diy.

I have an outside wall which goes around my back, its previously been painted white and now bits of the paint is peeling off the wall. Ive scrapped off all the peeling paint, but ideally I would like to get the rest of the paint off before i paint it again.

Whats the best way of doing this? Basically im trying to strip all the paint of an outside wall before i re-paint. Is this easy?? or is it jusy hard work scrapping??

you will probably have the same problem in a few years if you paint and it will also need painting evey few years. if you take the paint of re-point it and it will be sound.

Is there an easy way to strip the paint off?? or do i just need to scrap it all off??

might be a daft question but will a wallpaper steamer make it any easier??

scrape off the loose bits and get some decent paint stripper.

You can use a Jet wash at close range and maybe a wire brush .
