Expert paint removal across London
Paint on brickwork seals the wall, traps moisture behind it and starts to peel and flake within a few years. Getting it off lets the wall breathe again and brings back the natural brick or stone.
We use gentle, controlled methods rather than aggressive sandblasting that would wreck the face, low-pressure steam systems and poultice treatments that draw the paint out of the surface. Once the paint is off we can repoint and repair anything the paint was hiding, so you are left with clean, sound masonry.
