It's not a job I relish. Usually means quite a few weeks of work for me but that's largely due to the condition of woodwork and the amount of railings.
I wash the face of the buildings and perimeter walls with a jet wash. Sugar soap is not a bad call though. The jet wash also gets the prep started by removing any loose/blown bricks.
Airhead-
On that note, is there anything you'd recommend as a filler for external painted concrete?
We have a concrete (I assume) overhang porch thing that I need to clean up and repaint. I still have a load of external paint. But it needs cleaning up and prepping.
I haven't had a proper poke at it, but to me it looks like years of multiple layers has lifted. However, there may also be some sort of skim coat.
Cheers.

Hi! That sounds ominous…We are about to embark on painting our exterior, do you have any tips please? Do you recommend washing the paintwork first with sugar soap?
