This was really helpful, I live near the ferries so my bricks are very much like yours and would like to have them clean, Im in the process of buying my home so like you as soon as the scaffolding goes up I will also start on my bricks so thanks alot for this, cant wait to see the vlog on your brick cleaning
3:1 acid ratio is incredibly strong. Have there been any staining present after you cleaned them? For example iron oxide staining (rust) will develop at a 3:1 ratio, depending on the iron content used when the bricks were being formed. As a rule 10:1 for dark coloured brickwork and 20:1 for light coloured bricks.
Hi, I have painted bricks on the bottom half of the exterior of the house but want to revert to the original look of the bricks would acid take off the paint or is there something else to use for painted bricks? Any advice?
Hi there, what was the cost of just the brick cleaning on this job? Have an almost identical sized property and Just been quoted £4250 for just the doff cleaning excluding scaffolding and repointing. Seems crazy high. Tempted to hire the equipment and do it myself
Just the cleaning was 100£ in acid. 200£ for pressure washer. Took 2 days. Yeah thats ridiculous think some trades think they are hedgefund day rates nower days. Fairplay to them tho if they are getting 2k day rate to pressure wash😂
Qualified brick cleaner here, find someone who does dustless blasting in your area, they should be able to strip back paint on brickwork without the need for chemicals

Thank you for the info. Just ordered same stuff. Cost me around £190 delivered for 15l.
Will see how it goes.
Got ripped off mate
Awesome video, subscribed! 👍Also, would sodium hypochlorite not be a good chemical for a job like that as well?
Good job, hopefuly you got rid of that horribble cement pointing and put back lime ?

Is that a DOFF steam cleaner?
How long does a job like this one take?
2 days
I want this done at the front of my terraced house. I also want it re pointing but not sure which order to take it. Any idea ?
Acid clean first then repoint
@@havesomevision cheers
Why the tarp?

Hi there, they asked for £4250 with vat or without?
Thank you!
To HAVESOMEVISION:
Simple question: where can I buy this stuff? I live in London and can travel around easily. Thanks
Toolstation, screwfix
Great video! What is the acid product you are using and the steam cleaner machine make? Tempted to have a go myself looks like fun.
hi there. thanks for the video, really helpful. how long did it take you to clean the bricks start to finish? Many thanks
Love the Heisenberg suit but how did you end up with a massive hole in the back of it 😂😂. Bricks looks absolute fire 🔥
😂😂 mate they tear so easily its a ridiculous! Turned out great didnt it, cant wait to see it when its pointed!!
@@havesomevision would a cold power washer work with acid? Tuck pointing with lime looks very good if you are going to repoint!
Need this done but previous owner painted over the bricks
Can still be done! Next door neighbours was painted. May need to use a paint stripper acid first
