I have a fairly rough and ready out-building that appears to be made of breeze-blocks and which seems to have a cement render.
Not sure when it was last painted, must have been at least 10 years ago. It's painted white. The outer paint layer is flaking off, sometimes in large chunks, only to reveal another layer of white underneath.
The north facing portion of it also has a thin film of green algae over most of it.
I need to scrape off the flaking paint of course, but how about the algae? How best to remove that?
Also, what type of paint should I use to re-paint it with? Are there any which are 'algae resistant'? I haven't painted anything for ages, hence the questions. I guess I'll need a roller too.
Thanks
