In theory, using a pressure washer can remove paint from bricks. It is how lots of people choose to do their brick cleaning at home. However, it is poorly advised. Using a pressure washer for paint removal will damage the brick surface, often irreparably.
We cover this in more detail in our post “will pressure washing remove paint from brick?”.
Pressure washers use a stream of water that is forced out of the nozzle at incredibly high pressure. This is how they get their name. The stream of water can be incredibly dangerous. It can completely decimate certain materials and cause damage to people if used incorrectly. In order to prevent any damage to you or your wall, you must put the pressure washer away and hire professionals like NW Wash in Hazel Grove instead.
Pressure washing is a no, but what about chemically cleaning your walls? Will chemicals remove paint from your exterior brickwork?
There are a number of products out there that claim to be paint strippers, but as well as paint stripping, many of them are very strong caustic chemicals. This means that they are not only dangerous to use without experience, but they are also incredibly detrimental to the brick.
Bricks are porous, which means they tend to absorb any liquid that sits on their surface - including a caustic chemical paint stripper. These chemicals will then soak through the brick and can cause structural issues by damaging the interior brick integrity.
Many people wonder what the point of removing paint from brick is. Masonry paint, when done well, can look really lovely on brick walls - so why should you remove it? Well, the answer is: you don't have to. If the paint looks great and is causing no issues, there's no reason why you should go ahead with paint removal.
However, often, the paint begins to deteriorate or it starts to cause issues for the residents. This is when paint removal is important. You should consider removing paint from your brick walls if:
As with many practical jobs in Hazel Grove, it is hard to determine exactly what paint removal will cost each individual person. This is because the cost will differ depending on a number of factors:

If a paint stripper is good enough at removing paint, why hire NW Wash? What do we offer that a good paint stripper doesn't when it comes to removing paint?
Even with a good paint stripper, removing paint is hard. Masonry paint has been designed to last well. It really sticks to masonry surfaces and can be hard to budge, making it very difficult, in some situations, to remove paint. It is a long and hard job and one that requires lots of patience.
Too often, homeowners decide to remove paint themselves, only to get fed up and reach for a pressure washer or a sandblaster, which then ruins their beautiful brickwork completely in the process of removing paint.
