How to get Polyfilla off bricks
AlwaysSomething
Posts: 240 Forumite
I have a bare brick fireplace in my living room. There was coving attached at the ceiling, but I have now removed it. It looks like it was fixed on with polyfilla. There are large white patches bonded to the bricks
Anyone got any ideas for cleaning up the bricks. Failing that, has anyone succesfully painted over a mark on a brick without it showing too badly?

Try lightly tapping it with a hammer - it might crumble and fall off."You were only supposed to blow the bl**dy doors off!!"0

Chip it off then go over gently with a wire brush? depends on the type of brick?0

brick acid..It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.0 -
why resurrect a three year old thread?"You were only supposed to blow the bl**dy doors off!!"0
