Restoring brickwork following pebbledash removal All manner of questions and solutions to problems and issues surrounding the subject of brickwork, blockwork and stonework

[LisaT]

I have recently removed the pebbledash from part of my Victorian property. Fortunately none of the London Stocks or red decorative bricks have been damaged. However, they have been left with a grey film.

I would be very grateful for advice as to how I can remove this 'film' and restore the brick colours. Brick acid / sandblast ???
