Hi All,
I'm just about to start painting some exterior brickwork. (I live in a circa 1900 terraced house with yellow brick) The exterior was previously painted white and has been flaking and starting to crack and peel off for a while. I have removed what i can exposing some brick but mainly the paint if still on. With this in mind should i use a primer or am i OK to go straight on with a masonry paint like Dulux Weathershield masonry paint smooth? Some of the pointing has come loose so will need to repair that also before painting.
Any tips or advise would be appreciated.
Thanks
