Removal of Masonry Paint
Craig Carr
try and restore the original frontage.
The previous owner has very thoughtfully painted the internal brick with a
cream masonry paint.
What is the best and easiest way to remove the paint?????
PS has anyone had any experience of removing porchs any pointers and
pitfalls I might come across.
