Need Any Help?
Wanstead is known for its elegant period homes and attractive brick façades. Over the years, however, many properties have had their brickwork painted — sometimes to modernise the appearance, sometimes to cover ageing brick. While paint may offer a quick cosmetic update, it can often cause long-term issues for traditional brick properties.

Many Wanstead homes were originally built using London stock bricks and breathable lime mortar. These materials are designed to allow moisture to escape naturally.
While freshly painted brick may look tidy at first, it often ages unevenly and can lead to long-term maintenance concerns.
Removing paint allows the brick to breathe again and restores the natural appearance of the façade.
