Painting Bricks All manner of questions and solutions to problems and issues surrounding the subject of brickwork, blockwork and stonework

Good Morning,

I have just finished building an extension and need to paint the new brickwork to match the rest of the house which is Grade 2 listed. Problem is every masonry paint I've looked at advises not to use on 'common' bricks - I have to match the extension regardless; any suggestions please?
