In most cases, yes — but it depends on the extent of the damage.
Trapped moisture behind non-breathable paint can lead to a range of issues, from soft mortar and salt deposits to crumbling bricks and deep structural damage. At Feel the Pressure UK, we regularly work with clients to:
-
Repoint decayed mortar joints
-
Replace spalled or crumbling bricks
-
Clean off staining or efflorescence
-
Safely strip paint without further harm
However, severe or long-term damage may require specialist restoration, especially if internal damp or structural instability is involved.
That’s why we always recommend starting with a brick paint removal test patch. It helps us assess the condition of the wall, spot any hidden problems early, and advise you on the safest and most cost-effective way forward.
