We have just purchased a traditional victorian house and the front of the house has been painted. We would like to remove the paint and expose the original stonework and bathstone but quotes so far are all very expensive. We also believe that the paint may be hiding some poor/messy re-pointing where the mortar is overlapping the stone work.
Are there any tips on removing the paint without having to bring in a professional firm and is there a simple way of rectifying the pointing without fully re-pointing the front of the house?
