Our current methods of brick paint removal include:
DOFF cleaning is a specialised method that uses high-temperature steam to clean and restore brick and other masonry surfaces. This innovative technique employs a specially designed DOFF machine that heats water to temperatures up to 150°C (302°F) and then projects it at low pressure. The combination of heat and gentle pressure makes DOFF cleaning a powerful yet non-abrasive solution for cleaning and paint removal.
To be fair, painted brick is not necessarily a bad thing if a suitable, good-quality masonry paint is used. Also, it depends on the type of brick, as some are more porous than others.
However, most bricks are breathable; they absorb moisture in damp conditions, which then evaporates naturally. When you paint exterior brickwork, this can seal in the moisture, resulting in issues with condensation, damp and mould inside the home.
Also, as the trapped moisture freezes, it causes the brick to crack and crumble. This damage isn't always apparent until it's too late!
Removing paint from external brickwork offers numerous benefits, enhancing both the aesthetic and functional aspects of your property. Here are the key advantages of undertaking this task:
Due to the sophisticated equipment and the expertise required to operate it, DOFF cleaning services are typically priced between £30 and £50 per square metre.
The cost of chemical paint stripping services can range from £20 to £40 per square metre, although there are several factors that will influence the overall cost.

As we mentioned earlier, there are some methods of stripping paint that should be avoided at all costs!
Surprisingly, they are recommended on many websites - even those run by professional exterior cleaning companies.
Our professional advice is to avoid these methods unless you want to damage the porous surface...
Sandblasting is an effective but harmful method that uses high-pressure air to propel sand particles against the brick or stone surface to remove paint. This method is highly abrasive and can strip away the outer layer of bricks, leading to permanent surface damage, weakening the structural integrity, and creating an uneven appearance.
Sandblasting can cause excessive wear on the brick surface, expose the softer inner material, and result in increased porosity, making bricks more susceptible to moisture and weather damage.
