I agree, the reckless and inappropriate use of paint has ruined the aesthetics of thousands of houses and retail properties all over the country. Masonry and brickwork provide their own individual architectural beauty and are not meant to be painted. I sincerely appreciate the splendour of unvandalised Victorian and Edwardian architecture. Great video showing the tranformation of the property to its former glory.
Judging by the colour of the paint unfortunately the 'follow the herd' brigade have to copy everyone else more so with this trend with this awful colour. Glad they got the house looking like it originally did. Well done to these men for making this house look nice again.
The damp is coursed because most of these type of houses was build over 100 years ago. Over the years things change window doors get better they get fitted with showers gas heating and cooking better insulation doing away with coal fires all of these contributing to more condensation on the inside. So instead of keeping the original air flow of the house wich a coal fire would do naturally people have bad information thinking the water/damp is coming from the outside try to seal this(with none breathable paints) and inturn make the problem alot worse when infact its lack of knowledge on how to use venting systems on new upvc windows (in most cases) not all because alot of different factors cand course damp ie bad roof/gutters/cement/etc
I’m in Auckland New Zealand- I’ve seen a brick and tile 60’s era home painted and sealed with rubber texturised paint and within 24 months there was an explosion of mould, dampness etc. all caused because some home flipper thought they would modernise the exterior. The new owners had to do exactly what this video shows, the whole thing had to come off and what’s really amazing is that when the original surface was exposed and clean the house looked beautiful
@craiggillett5985 yup, I'm in NZ too, lower North Island. Witnessed the same thing in my neighborhood, a 60s red-brick and tile house fully painted in the same grey, as the British house in this video. I thought that the grey doesn't suit that house. Had no idea painting brick houses could lead to other problems though.
@wcsd9577 😊 I don't normally get chance to go back to jobs but I held off with this as I knew I was back in this area weeks later I'm glad I did as it adds so much value to the video 😊👌👍
Why do so many people feel the need to slap paint on everything? Furniture also, you have a perfectly nice (antique) piece of furniture and here they come with the chalk paint...to make it "shabby-chic"...
Wish I could upvote your comment 100 times. I totally agree with you I have seen many youtube videos where perfectly good wooden cupboards and any type of furniture are painted grey or white because of this ridiculous trend and it completely spoils the cupboards, furniture etc.
When you travel around Britain it’s amazing how local architecture & colour of Victorian and Edwardian brickwork changes, from at the time local brickworks, clay and variations in materials.
OMGosh! What a beautiful difference you made. I absolutely love watching you work…really relaxing! Probably a bit less so for you though. Really appreciate your channel. 👏👏👏👍👍👏👏👏
I’ve just found this out I’ve just lost hearing in one ear and other only quarter legt only 51 and it’s come as a shock past few weeks this news this noise catches up with you this certainly merits ear muffs on plus keep the dirt out off ears too and I was only a commercial floor layer thow using sanders grinders drills other tools most days plus other trades noises on job 30 plus years yep it’s came back too haunt me straight out off the blue it’s worth putting them on 👍
@@Mobileblaster as i've lost 50% hearing in one ear when I only did blasting for a year. 30 years ago. I would wear plugs and balaclava even tape up my ears. as the ringing never stops once you get it.
Yeah definitely goes hand in hand with jointing but dont take that the wrong way blasting will not remove good cement joints only loose and soft joints just that once a job has been blasted and jointed it will look as fresh as a new build 😊👌👍
Mick, can you use paint shields around the windows to protect the glass? That's what painters use when they spray. It has a handle and they hold it in their other hand as they spray. I'm sure you know what I mean. Oh dear, grinding is a lot of extra work. Another great episode as usual.
It's the angels required that even by putting something along the edge would be very hard to hold although it's low pressure it's very high volume I've tried alot of different methods even fully masking off windows but this can be worse as if 1 peace of grit gets behind it will vibrate behind the board hitting the window. What works for me may not work for others I have a very good understanding of what's happening same with truck pipes etc its all todo with hours under the hood
Thanks for the video. This has just probably saved me a couple of grand. I thought painted brick looked nice but how wrong am I, hahahaha. Great video and very therapeutic. 👍
Wow what a difference. This is how it should have always looked. Those terrible textured paints are the cause of so many damp problems. Same with some of those clear brick sealants. Folk don't know that buildings need to breath.
I can almost guarantee its nothing near the cost people think I would say the scaffolding or repointing is the most expensive part and I didn't do that haha 😅
It looks fantastic.....I've painted many a house with similar gunk but I've certainly never painted over old red bricks.... get them re pointed and damp proofed
Yeah I would be over my classification if I bring the water needed. The garden wall isn't a quick and simple job though admitted it would look loads better but it would be quite alot of work 👍
@steadfastandyx4947 sand and cement is totally fine with this type of brick so long as it was mixed 4 to 1 or 5 to 1 any stronger may course issues but I've refilled this type of brick lots of times for the council and they had silo ready mix powder 4x1 with plastersizer a tub would stay workable for approximately 5 hour before setting 👍
Doesn’t the blasting remove the outer hard layer of the brick exposing the softer under layer? There seems to be a lot of red in the run off from the blasting. I don’t do this for a living but have always heard this about blasting brick?
In this instance, I have to hit it harder than I would like saying that I had to so I could break through the textured paint if I did turn it down the extra time needed would be around the same finish. Yeah, it's abrasive and it will remove a microscopic layer off the face of the brick but it is still a 4" clay brick it won't affect the performance of the brick. If correct paint was used it's not only designed to let the brick breathe it is also designed to be removed easier so in practice I could have made this microscopic layer even more unnoticeable.
4" clay brick is as hard on the inside as the outer layer the face is for decoration not to protect against weather it will still repel water the same as a brick that's not been blasted as mentioned in the video bricks also weep damp out 👍
Sadly, lots of landlord's, think more paint means no Damp. But when they paint in the winter, it trapped the damp in the wall, with only one way out, inside to the rooms.
Lovely job , I would think the house would have been built using lime originally but looks to me like it’s been repointed in cement? Hopefully this doesn’t cause damp issues or damage to the bricks 🤞🤞🤞
Ex-coal villages tend to be built up on coal dust of some kind the joints were grey/black I've got a very similar built house and cement has been fine 👌👍
@Mobileblaster beautiful work mate 👌 👏. Lucky your still a young fella mate 👍. I'm stuffed if I could go up them scaffolding like you legend. Especially holding on to a blast hose 🫡
@scottkenzig5144 the last little square at the top really pissed me off I had to go all the way down just to put 5 minutes worth of media into the pot to climb all the way back up do 5 minutes and climb back down to set the power washer up and get back up haha
@Mobileblaster bloody hell mate 😳. Stuff that. I must say but the brick building's are so different to hear in Australia. They just seem to be everywhere 😕 😆🤙👍
@scottkenzig5144 most to all building in the UK are built with brick block or stone definitely built to last as this would have been built pre 1900s after 1900s they decided to that a 100mm air cavity was they way forward to insulat so 100mm of brick or block then 100mm air cavity then 100mm of face brick or stone really old built building have 450+ stone. That's mainly why the UK comes to a stand still when temps get over 25° as our buildings are built to keep heat in and aircon isn't really worth the investment as it basically only gets over 25° probably 3x a year haha
As the years press on, have you ever realized that you under bid a project after you got into it? What do you do different now that keeps you from doing it now compared to when you first started?
I've been blasting for quite a long time and in the early days yeah I got caught out with jobs and quotes the more you do the less a job is a surprise. I've always stuck to the original quote never making the customer pay extra for my mistake in pricing 👍
I didn't know you could use water. I looked it up and I think it's a mix of sand, glass beads or walnut shells mixed in. So there's less sand to clean up. I hope it doesn't damage the bricks.
@iwanttocomplain The water is only added to suppress the dust it doesn't do anything else only make my job harder 😂 but I prefer to contain the dust the best I can
@@Mobileblaster oh I see when it says 'dustless' it means the dust doesn't fly around because it's in the water, so it's a bit more contained on the ground.
Ello Mick just a quickie would you recommend using that Thompsons water proofing or does that case breathing issues aswell???? Thanks great job btw the house looks brand new😎😎😎
@phillmitchelllpool2092 the paint is acting like a plastic bag stopping the condensation from inside getting out (showers cooking and I was told a human makes 7L of condensation a day don't know if that's true) a brick will repel water but also alow water to pass through
And it just looks so weird next to the other half left in the natural brick! I'm not saying a person doesn't have the right to do what they want to their own property but I do think you need to consider existing aesthetics so you don't have such a jarring facade. IMHO 😊
@kierenhudson6331 Especially with none breathable paints because it causes so many problems that not many people understand it's due to the paints that are coursing the issue
@christinekesler8964 😂 Its lack of knowledge because people try to solve damp thinking it's water getting in so they try to seal the bricks when originally it would have been a roof windows or pointing issue
Excellent job, I’m no builder but that brick wall seems to join the house with no damp coarse in between and may be one of the sources of damp, that and very few air bricks visible?
Its pre-1900s damp proof wasn't an issue back then 😂 it could be a factor why they had so much damp low down but they also mentioned damp patches in the bedrooms damp from the ground wouldn't rise that high 👍
@@Mobileblasteranother big factor is that those houses were originally heated by open coal fires. While inefficient they had the effect of creating air movement in the rooms meaning moisture laden air was removed & damp was drawn from the walls. Now with them being sealed up & heated mostly by gas boilers there’s a lot of static air, especially in the bedrooms. A ventilation system helps too.
I thought the paint looked okish until you'd finished (I know it had to come off because of damp) but it looks a million times better after and now I think the paint was horrible.

With the amount of pressure coming out of the hose, how do you do hours of cleaning without fatigue? You must have amazing upper body strength.
@TheTlangdon it's not for everyone but you do get used to it 👍
Excellent job, I’m no builder but that brick wall seems to join the house with no damp coarse in between and may be one of the sources of damp, that and very few air bricks visible?
Its pre-1900s damp proof wasn't an issue back then 😂 it could be a factor why they had so much damp low down but they also mentioned damp patches in the bedrooms damp from the ground wouldn't rise that high 👍
@@Mobileblaster . Yep, it’s like covering the whole house with a plastic bag!
@@Mobileblasteranother big factor is that those houses were originally heated by open coal fires. While inefficient they had the effect of creating air movement in the rooms meaning moisture laden air was removed & damp was drawn from the walls. Now with them being sealed up & heated mostly by gas boilers there’s a lot of static air, especially in the bedrooms. A ventilation system helps too.
So, those Conisborough hard ted bricks survive the paint removal,process. But can this be used on softer bricks?
Yeah depending on what needs removing 👌👍
I thought the paint looked okish until you'd finished (I know it had to come off because of damp) but it looks a million times better after and now I think the paint was horrible.

My red brick house was covered in krender. Looks amazing but I could feel the house could not breath. Sold the house.
😬 new rendering systems work just as good as brick/stone it depends if the company that put it on did so over old paint systems 😬
