sandblasting brickwall, cost?

alanco15

Hi, would anyone have any idea what it would cost to pay someone to remove the paint from the brick walls in a cellar approx 4x4 metres 2 metres high.
I'm thinking sandblasting but any other ideas, iv'e seen the stabble gun things looks very time consuming,
looking to make walls good ready for tanking

Thanks all

i doubt sand blasting is the best method in a confined cellar.
use a needle scaler instead. you can hire one for a week for about 50 quid. you do need a compressor too.
a handyman would probably charge you 500-1000 quid to do the job.

If it is a lead based paint then you can use this, http://www.restexpress.co.uk/acatalog/Peel_Away_1.html?gclid=CKChsM7Jg6wCFUsZ4Qodm23rJA
