Reveal the Original Character of Your Brickwork

Masonry paint can trap moisture and hide deterioration within the brickwork. Our controlled removal process allows a proper assessment and restores the natural appearance of your property.

Benefits of Paint Removal

  • Allows brickwork to breathe
  • Reduces damp and mould risk
  • Restores the natural appearance
  • Reduces future maintenance

Non-Chemical ThermaTech Paint Removal

We use ThermaTech superheated water systems to gently break the bond between paint and brick. The combination of extreme heat and low pressure lifts coatings without damaging the underlying masonry.

Superheated Water

Breaks the bond naturally.

Low
Pressure
Protects delicate brick and mortar.
No Corrosive Chemicals
Safe for your home, family and the environment.
How the Process Works

Careful Removal. Natural Results.

01

Surface
Assessment

We assess the brickwork, paint type and condition to plan the safest, most effective approach.
02

Test Patch & Protection

Test areas confirm the correct settings. Windows, stonework and areas not being cleaned are carefully protected.
03

Controlled Steam Removal

Superheated water is applied with low pressure to remove paint in layers while protecting the brick and mortar.
04

Repairs
& Finishing

Damaged bricks are replaced where required, and we complete repointing using compatible lime mortar.

Why Paint Can Damage Brickwork

Paint traps moisture within the masonry. Over time, water enters through tiny cracks and becomes trapped, leading to erosion, damp and frost damage.

Restoring a Breathable Facade

We remove coatings, replace damaged bricks where required and complete repointing with compatible lime mortar to restore strenght and breathability.
  • Moisture can escape
  • Damage becomes visible
  • Repairs can be completed
  • Original character restored

"Szczepan and his lovely team did a fantastic job at our property. Our brick work had completely disintegrated and we were experiencing leaks. Within a day, our house was watertight again. Communications were excellent and the job was done quickly and efficiently. I would highly recommend SJ Pointer!"

"Szczepan and his team have done a fantastic job removing old masonry paint and repointing our victorian house using traditional materials. They were always on time, tidy and courteous and the work came in on budget. We are absolutely delighted with the result. Szczepan also helped us find a great decorator and roofer and went out of his way to address a couple of final snags. We would highly recommend."
