Hi All, hoping for some advice on a potential job. The rear elevation of this building has damp issues, the existing drain pipe looks to need replacing but the walls seem to be just soaking up moisture in numerous areas especially at the lower walls. Reason I assume is that the stone work...

Some advice, please. There are 3 - 4 rows of brick between the bottom of the roughcasting and the level of the garden. A previous owner has painted these with white masonry paint and it has either peeled off (after 20+ years) or looks dirty. 1) What type of paint should I use? 2) The...

Hi there, I'm trying to paint the outside of my house and I've got to remove this old masonry paint. I've been scrubbing with a wire brush and scraping for hours and I've barely covered 10% of the bricks, and even then its just the outermost flakiest layers I've removed. Any tips how to get this...

Hi thought i'd set about Painting the inside of the garage white as i've seen a few threads and thought it would brighten up the garage. I've bought a couple of tins of White Deco Aldi Masonry Paint. I've not long started and i've already used 1/2 a tub and i've hardly got anywhere :eek: ...

I have rather regretfully painted the walls (OSB) of a garden office with Dulux exterior weather shield masonry paint on the advice it would be fine. I now have a smelly office which is rather annoying. I believe it’s the biocides in the paint that is the smell. I’ve painted over it with an...
