Breathing Life In: Combatting Internal Dampness with Sandblasting Paint Removal off brick and stone

[@amandatrickett1028]

Wow! Looks 10 times better now. It was horrible before, but i suppose the paint job may have been fashionable at one time. Im not a builder, but the paint job i believe can cover a multiple of sins and cheaper than cure. Obviously proves that out of sight isn't always out of mind, only on a temporary basis. A lot of landlords at one time painted the bricks for a cheaper option rather than properly curing damp etc. Anyway good news for you, as rectifying these bodges keeps you in a job 😅 😊 you have done really well to do the job so neat, but would be even better if the whole houses had it done 😊

[@Mobileblaster]

I think it could be a matter of education not alot of people know that blasting is a feesable opinion of removing paints. Blasting as a industry gets a bad rep on brick and stone as a few bad operators tar the industry I started these videos to prove time and time again it's not the case and hopefully change how people think about blasting or at least show it's an economic opinion available 👌👍

What difference looks so much better,shame the neighbors didn’t want the same job at the same time makes all the houses look nice 👍👍😎

Looks like the properties either side could do with the same treatment. Looks so much better after treatment. Very therapeutic watching this. Helps me to relax

[@Iruk24]

Mick does the dustless blasting just run off a normal hose pipe feed or does it require a more substantial water feed? And what media are you using with it?

[@Mobileblaster]

Crushed glass and yeah tap pressure

[@waynemoate9401]

The house looks great, I never understand painting bricks.

[@SonofChurchill]

Fashion back then

[@Mobileblaster]

I'm glad folk do keeps me in work 😂

[@ReadMyDiscription.223]

I do this for a living. It's hard work work no doubt. The blasting is the easy part. The cleaning up and picking up media is what really gets to me.

[@Mobileblaster]

I don't like any of it 😂

[@gerryduffy6700]

Proper Yorkshire look with the flat cap, where’s the whippet? 😂. Great job as always👍🇬🇧

[@Mobileblaster]

😂👌👍

[@csutton140784]

Brilliant job Mick! Just found your channel, what’s the name of the machine you’re using here? I’ve done a little brick cleaning in my time but thinking of trying sand/media blasting so if I know a god machine to try I’ll rent one my way 👍

[@Mobileblaster]

Any presure pot will do its a bit like say what car should I rent its best to speak with a rental shop and advise what you want from the unit and how fast you want to complete the work 👍

[@philglover2973]

Awesome video thanks Mick very much appreciated hope you're well 🇬🇧🛠️🚜🚛🔧

[@Mobileblaster]

Thanks mate yeah sun is starting to come out now always makes folk want to do home improvements keeping me busy 😏👌

[@SonofChurchill]

Hope you get more work from the other houses

[@Mobileblaster]

1 is enough 😂

[@kubinka879]

Great to see you climbing inside the scaffolding, unlike many who climb on the outside and wonder why it topples.

[@Mobileblaster]

😊 I'm guilty when setting it up tho😬 I like this model as it feels safe unlike other stuff I've tried before

[@simonmay1814]

Cracking job pal

[@Mobileblaster]

Thank you 😊

[@phenogen8125]

Great job but shame wasn't the four together; well worthwhile followed by the spalted bricks (why painted naively in first instance by many) chopped out and replaced and a re-point. All the residual wires could run internally and in roof. Looks much better and I know will fix the problem. The redundant chimney flues should be checked as properly capped and ventilated as often they are not done properly.

[@alouisschafer7212]

Would have volunteered to do all the brickwork and facade improvements and taking care of the messy wiring in these homes. If paid accordingly :)

[@Mobileblaster]

It's definitely something I can do but it's not my perferd way of work 👍 it would make for a nice video start to finish 😬👌

[@ThomasEvanchick-gk7os]

Yup you work your ass off.i think that’s a word over there.any way I’m looking into doing the same kind of work.thanks for the videos.

[@Mobileblaster]

😊👌👍 it's alot harder than the videos show alot more is happening than I show just keep that in mind but best of luck report back let me know how your getting along or if you need any help 👌

[@arbit3r]

RIP for the neighbors house 🤣

[@Mobileblaster]

I did clean up after and they was notified beforehand just the little things like booking a window cleaner to go round after a lot isn't shown on these videos 👍

[@arbit3r]

@@Mobileblaster I wouldn't get away with that on the properties I work on in London, you would have a lawsuit if that all that residue landed on a neighboring property. Neighbors would be trying to point out all kinds of damage and have free work done or get a payment from you. You would have to tent off the entirety of the facade of the house being worked on. Thankfully it looks like the neighboring property is in pretty bad shape and the area is a bit rough but fair play its not an easy or pleasant job to do.

[@Mobileblaster]

@arbit3r Yeah I've done work before when they complain sometimes it's all down to the area I scope the workload beforehand having chats and explain what's likely to happen and listen to the concerns reassurance that your going to leave the area as clean or better normally is enough but I still get the odd people that complain I do my best to settle any issues. I know scaffolding and a full tent system is the best method but sometimes it's a matter of the costs this way normally puts jobs like this out of reach it's always a good idea to reassure folk that you will make it good after the work is completed

[@computercraig777]

Why would you ever paint them look so much better clean brick

[@Mobileblaster]

😊👌👍 I'm glad folk do 😂 keeps me in work haha

[@alouisschafer7212]

Dont. Paint. Brick UNLESS proper permeable silicate paint is used and its an internal application like the basement. The front facing facade of my house was painted many years ago and I wish it wasn't. When we had the house fully renovated and remodeled we opted to simply paint over with the desired colour. The painters had concerns, we had concerns but in the end sand blasting was not an option on our minds. Painters did a fantastic job though and the house looks great and never had damp to begin with. Old buildings need to have well ventilated basements and you need to check up on the exterior walls. If damp is present the problem needs to be addressed.

[@Mobileblaster]

Only problem when painting even with a masonry paints once you start its always going to need repairing at some point.

[@natungtaw]

Thats really hectic 😊

[@Mobileblaster]

😏👌👍

[@jimsvideos7201]

Paint bricks a brick colour is odd. 🤨

[@Ragnar8504]

Maybe someone didn't like the fact that the upstairs bricks are a different colour.

[@Mobileblaster]

I think it won't be as noticeable once its dried out and repointed got to remember years of damp will take some time to dry properly. 👍
