Hi all, have been doing a fair bit of lurking in this thread over the last couple of years, just wondered if anyone has been through the process of removing external render/paint from their house? Our place is covered in an awful textured paint that's starting to fail, having had various specialists out to quote the consensus seems to be either chemical removal and pressure wash, or mechanical grinding followed by repointing and sealing the bricks. Both methods seem to have pros and cons for potential damage to the brickwork, if anyone has any experience with either it would be great to hear how you got on...
