How to remove paint form bricks?

doozer · 25 Mar 2007

Hello,

I have an early 19th Century cottage that has been painted white at the back of the house. I would like to remove the paint as the rest of the house is a gorgeous red brick and I can then see what is underneath all that paint. Could someone on the forum recommend a safe method and/or product for removing this masonary paint from the bricks? It looks like it may have had quite few coats over the years!

Thanks
Doozer

Grit blasting will be the only way.

Peel away, I had a restoration job to do and the walls had been painted a horrid green, they came down and tested small areas for me, didnt help tho, it was bloody emulsion and they didnt have a chemical for it, I tried nitromors and a pressure washer, hey presto it came off!

But im not so sure that this stuff will ull the paint out of all the nooks an crannies of the bricks.
