I'm just about to remove an old entrance porch which is fixed up to the brickwork.

In the past someone has painted the woodwork with gloss paint and managed to get quite a lot onto the bricks which will look far worse once the porch has been taken down.

Appart from trying to wire brush it off does anyone have any suggestions haw I could remove this.

John.

blow torch? nitromorse? brick acid?

Mangers paint remover works well for me.

Re-read that a few times before throwing cider down the front of the house..............

Hi,a jetwash worked on mine but took ages and was very messy (but cost nothing).

Brake fluid?

beware of pressure washing bricks - you can take the surface coating off them
