I am trying to redo an old brick floor that is in my house. I would like some advice on how to do this.
Firstly the bricks appear to have been sealed with something a long time ago (see picture) any idea on what this is and how to remove it?
Secondly at lot of the mortar(?) between the bricks has become loose and fallen out so needs to be repaired or replaced. Should I remove the mortar between all of the bricks or just repair, but how? Apart from the amount of work involved in removing the mortar, some of the gaps are very small so I am not sure on how to remove it without damaging the brick sides.
Once the mortar is replaced/repaired I will need to clean and then
reseal the brickwork any ideas on what to use?
