Hi
We're having a few things done on the house soon - one of them being pointing the bricks. At some point in time though, someone has decided to paint the exterior brickwork. Red at the front, white at the back. Why would you do this??
It now looks an utter disgrace.
I've asked the builders who've come to quote me if it can be removed and I've had a few answers; 'we can do it, but it'll cost a couple of grand', acid wash might get it off, we can give it a go' and 'we can try but it probably won't work and it'll look worse - best to repaint it'.
Are any of them the right answer? Am I stuck with it and should I paint over it again, maybe in a more brick like colour?
