Whether you want to improve the appearance of your property, increase its value, or strip off paint that is damaging the masonry beneath, there are many reasons to remove paint from a brick wall.
We offer a professional paint removal service, which carefully strips away all the paint and render without damaging the brick and mortar beneath, followed by any brick cleaning and repairs that may be required.

Different paints and renders require specific equipment and chemicals to remove, and using the wrong method can damage the wall.
For example, plastic-based paints should be removed with a combination of solvents and high-powered steam jets, while acid washes can be used for lime-based paints and general grime.
This is likely to remove some of the mortar, which may also have eroded beneath the paint, so repointing is often combined with removing paint.
Various damage to the brick wall is also expected, and it must be repaired. Read more about how exterior paint damages brick walls below.
It’s essential that you hire contractors to remove paint who can identify which materials have been used and how to look after buildings of all ages.
Our director, Terry Clark, is a member of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings and is dedicated to performing remedial works that preserve period buildings so that they can survive long into the future.
Painted bricks have usually been painted again and again as they’ve touched up over the years. This builds up to a thick layer of stubborn paint, which isn’t just difficult to remove but also causes property damage.
Walls in period homes are supposed to “breathe,” which means that moisture can freely pass in and out of the building, preventing damp from building up inside.
A thick layer of impermeable paint on a brick wall can prevent it from breathing, resulting in the accumulation of moisture behind the coat of paint. This wet layer erodes away at the brick and mortar and provides conditions for mould growth.
We’ve stripped back paint to find aggressive mould growing underneath and bricks wet like sponges, heavily damaged by water erosion and freeze/thaw damage, which can eventually lead to large cracks spreading through the wall.
This combination of moisture build-up and damaged brick completely compromises the building fabric’s water tightness, leading to a spread of damp and mould throughout the structure and all the associated issues they cause.
For many people, Edwardian houses are considered the ideal family homes. They are typically large, well-proportioned, solidly built and designed around providing direct access to the garden.
Edwardian buildings make up much of the built landscape in some of London’s most desirable suburbs, but now that they are all over 100 years old, regular repair and maintenance – and sometimes full restoration – is required to keep them at their best.
At Environ Property Services, all our period restoration works are personally overseen by Terry L. Clark, company director and trained member of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings.
Our priority is always to preserve historic features and fabric through the use of matching materials and original building techniques. We approach Edwardian buildings not as contractors but as craftspeople.
Environ Property Services offer the following repair and restoration works for Edwardian houses in and around London:

Posted on Google Eric SampersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It's the second time I use Environ's services for a survey related to a property acquisition. Faeeza has been very helpful, proactive and clear in all communications. I should receive my second survey report soon but the reason why I came back to Environ is that their reports and the care they take in explaining and clarifying every point helped me make informed decisions. Would definitely recommend working with them.Posted on Google Caoilfhionn BradyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Environ provided me with a damp survey. From the start, they gave me clear and accurate information, and i have 0 complaints! The Environ team are very knowledgable and very helpful. A big thank you to Keeley for helping me book this through and reassuring me.Posted on Google Peta BistanyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have used Environ on a number of occasions and they always do a thorough job, give honest feedback and advice, with great people on site. Thanks to Reisse (surveyor), Danny (restorer), Kyle and Frankie (roofing) and Charney (project coordinator). Will use them againPosted on Google Ovidiu PopaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience refurbishing a room with Environ. This was a complex project involving damp proofing, joist strengthening, and new flooring. The team was extremely professional and delivered high-quality execution exactly on schedule. A huge thank you to Reisse (Surveyor), Marius and Presley (Carpentry), Melvyn (Internal damp works), and Simone and Charney (Project Coordination) for their hard work and seamless delivery. Highly recommended for complex structural work!Posted on Google Merril HammerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. So far, so excellent! A surveyor was around very speedily - knew his job - and was a really pleasant and helpful person who explained everything very clearly. And by early the next morning we had a detailed written report, with everything explained - and an offer to have a call with us should we need further explanation. As an additional bonus, this is a local company - knowing the area really helps. We now have high expectations for any work needing to be carried out...Posted on Google Emily DeyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
