i have been trying to remove very old white gloss paint drips on the brickwork of my house. they are mostly under the upper windows of the house and look really messy. someone in the past  been painting the woodwork and not cleaned off the drips. these paint splashes have been there for over twenty years. have used turbo but the pointing is far to soft. used nitromose which has not done the job. any ideas?

Wet blaster attachment for a pressure washer.

You can get the nozzles from Exchange Engineering Catalogue and fit to your lance.

It sucks through kiln dried sand and blasts in with the water output through the lance. Has an adjuster to set how much sand input into the flow so you donīt deface the brick.

At that height though itīs not recommended to be done off a ladder. Tower scaff positioned 1.5m away from the house if possible.

It's simple really yo said this has been there over twenty years so  it will be a slow process to remove.  Pre wet the brick and apply Aqua mix Sealing & Coating Remover,  Allow to dwell and then agitate with a suitable nylon brush, allow to dwell then rinse.  Re apply as many times as required to remove paint but you will get it out with patience and time.

There was a thread that I read the other day with accompanying photos, of a load of white gloss removed by steam which surprised me as it was on brick. I once tried to get gloss paint off sandstone and completely failed, that is to say it left a ghosting. I would have thought it must depend on the type of brick, soft wire cut or say smooth (or whatever type) class one engineering; but am not stating that I know about how to remove it- I am interested to hear from those that (hopefully) do though. 
So I will be interested to hear how you go on with that one Ged- please post once you have tried your chosen method, and certainly I would appreciate it

We done a job where the paint had been on for 30+ years where they had painted the shutters and had left lovely stripes on the bricks 2 stories up!!! We used Tensids paint stripper and it worked a treat!!!! 

Speak to Richard and he will help you out
