My house has got this weird texture on the external walls
Its not paint directly on the bricks
Its not as smooth as textured masonry paint but not as course as pebble dash
Have been told its like a coursish sand mixed with paint used to hide cracks and what not and help with damp
I want to render it smooth and paint it as current paint looks grubby. Will this painted texture stuff be enought of a key to render to?
Can I render straight onto the painted wall. Most seems really stuck on. There's some patches round the back that is loose.
I've been told the paint has to come off first, can this be done with wire brush attachment to a grinder? or a chisel hammer? or sandblasting? or chemicals?
I've heard sandblasing and things like the wirebrush will damage the brickwork, but is it ok if I'm going to be rendering straight ontop after??
Also someone said that it mioght be the paint that got this weird textured but instead a textured render that has been painted ontop. If thats the case wont the sandblasting or wirebrush just take off the render and leave the brickwork safe?
Will it be easier to spatterdash and render ontop??
