Aldgate is home to a mix of historic townhouses, converted warehouse apartments and commercial brick buildings. Over the years, many of these properties have had their brickwork painted — sometimes to modernise the appearance, sometimes to cover ageing brick or previous repairs.
While paint may initially improve the look of a building, it can create long-term problems for traditional brickwork.

Many properties in Aldgate were constructed using London stock brick and breathable lime mortar. These materials are designed to allow moisture to evaporate naturally.
In busy urban areas like Aldgate, painted brick often begins to look patchy and uneven due to pollution and weather exposure.
Removing the paint allows the brick to breathe again and function as originally intended.
Paint removal from brick requires experience and the right techniques. Using high-pressure washing or unsuitable chemicals can permanently damage older brick surfaces.
Our goal is always to remove paint effectively while protecting the integrity of the brickwork.
