Eco-friendly Brick Paint Removal
Our brick paint removal service will let you bring your brickwork back to its original condition. Here at S.J. Pointer, we understand that first impressions count and old paintwork on the outside of the home can affect the look and feel of a property. For removing paint from brickwork in London, we use ThermaTech – a brick and stone superheated water cleaning system. It is a non-chemical, eco-friendly paint removing technology. The temperature of superheated water is high, so it breaks the bond between paint and brick. However, the steam pressure is low, so it causes absolutely no damage to the surface.
Removing Paint from brick
- Allows brickwork to "breathe" naturally
- Reduces the risk of damp and mould to appear
- Restores the property to its original, natural appearance
- Reduces the maintenance costs
- Increases property's value
Painted Brick Disadvantages
The biggest concern is that even the smallest of cracks in your brickwork paint will allow moisture to seep into the brickwork and gradually erode the face of the brick. Progression of the brick erosion makes the restoration process more and more expensive, due to the growing area of repair. Over time, the moisture under the paint can cause damp and mould to appear inside the property. Therefore, removing the paint from brick should be carried out as soon as possible to prevent severe erosion of bricks.
Brick Paint Removal Benefits
Through the process of removing paint from brick, you will allow the brickwork to breathe naturally, which will help to reduce the risk of future maintenance costs. By removing paint from bricks and restoring the property to its original, natural appearance, you undoubtedly significantly increase its value. Therefore, the procedure of paint removal from brickwork can be considered to be an investment which pays off in two ways – it allows you to immediately improve the state of your brickwork, and spares you the costs and troubles of restoring it in the future.

Very professional company who did a great job removing the paint from the front of our house, repaired damaged bricks and repointed the whole frontage. We had layers of paint, going back decades and they successfully removed it. The guys worked very hard, putting in a huge effort each day. This type of work is very messy and generates lots of dust, but they cleaned up each night, hosing down our drive and even cleaned our neighbours cars, twice. Would recommend, without hesitation.

I thought I would never be able to have the paint removed from our Edwardian semi. I was so pleased to discover this company and chose them based on their reviews and a conversation with the owner. Although I did have to wait to get the job done as they were busy. It was definitely worth the wait. With minimal fuss and not as much dust as I expected the job was completed in 2 weeks. The skill and craftsmanship is so good and it was great to deal with a company with polite, respectful and conscientious skilled workers. My neighbours were please as the company were very considerate and tidy. So 2 weeks later the job is complete and my husband and I are delighted. Our home feels like a new house. Can not recommend these guys highly enough. You will not be disappointed. Thank you.
