Least invasive so that bricks are not damaged.
Soda blasting.
Sand blasting.
Dry ice blasting.
Shot blasting.
Vapour blasting.
......or any other variety of blasting?
-
Wire brushing :-\
Depends on the state of the bricks and mortar as to what's the most suitable medium.
-
:( Best of luck with that , if the bricks are porous and the paint has been applied properly it'll be a nightmare to get off , might be easier to repaint the brickwork with the colour of your choice ?
-
I've had a quick check.
Roughly 80 square metres need doing.

You need someone proficient in such matters to look at the job. How is anyone on here to know without seeing the job?

This is the interweb. Anything is possible ;D

I have some olive green brickwork out back I thought I might bring back to natural. I looked on the internet, and then unlooked. The chemical method of removal is very messy, very lengthy and probably very expensive.

No, I've already bought the cream.

The brickwork of my last house had been painted. I tried paint strippers and grit blasting (both air and hydraulic) with no success.
Then I left it for 15 years to let nature do it's work. No change - just looked dirty.
In the end I repainted using masonry paint and sold the house.

Proper job that! :y
Ninety quid though.... :( Can Lord Opti afford it? :-\

whilst that product may work on that paint on that brick, and still requires extra mechanical cleaning :(
it may not be effective on other types of paint or brick (fletton brick for example)
there are far too many variables to recommend a product or method , sample tests of various methods would be sensible.
people tend to paint bricks for a reason, there may be a mismatch in brick ,a patch or repair :-\
you can get painted or mismatched brickwork painted to look like natural brickwork but it's not cheap
or you could just paint the wall a colour you can live with :)
-
A friend had some dry ice blasting done recently and that was very effective without eroding the base, not cheap though!

Yeah. That's the method I looked at before deciding it didn't look that bad after all ;D
-
The moral of the story is, think very carefully before painting brickwork. Once it's there, it's there.
-
Peelaway does not seem a good option.
Once you 'peel it away' there is 80 square metres of ' sticky goo' to remove.
No thanks. :)

You could always clad it :D

Insurance claims work on most houses.
