Hello
I purchased a property 2 years ago which is going through renovation (windows being replaced etc). The previous owner painted red paint on the red brick and done a bad job of it. The red paint is not consistent and looks in a bad state. The owner also painted the mortar joints white and this is also inconsistent and needs work. All this work was done before the area was changed to a conservation area.
I cannot render over the brick work because of the conservation area rules. I am allowed to clean it but not sure what kind of treatment can be applied and potential damage\risk to windows and brick work.
I would appreciate if someone can;
1. provide me with options (maybe repainting is the best option)?
2. Risks\damage to brick and windows from treatment?
3. what to do about the white paint to render?
4. How much it would cost for each option?
Thanks
Dave
