Best thing to do is scrape all the vines off and any thick stuff and you'll be left with all the little spores. You won't budge the spores without damaging the brick. So just tell the client this. The green stuff will cone off with pressure an water. We used to use acid on the bricks and even that wouldn't budge the Ivy spores.

Pull off all the vines and steam will shift the suckers that are left behind, takes ages though so price well.
