It is a waterproof paint that can be used on masonry, brick, render and concrete surfaces, providing a breathable protective coating. But, as brick is a porous material, ensure the paint is breathable to allow excess moisture to evaporate. Rub down previously gloss painted surfaces with fine waterproof abrasive paper and rinse thoroughly. On this particular property, there are wall lights and plastic soffits, all of which don’t just need covering, but completely sealing up.The suction filter is visible at all times so its quite easily to tell when it needs to be replaced as it will either be covered in dry paint or the mesh may have been damaged.

Use a masonry filler such as Sandtex Ready Mixed Masonry Filler and apply to the crack using a flexible filling knife, pressing the filler into the crack. Using a paintbrush does take longer, of course, but if you’re painting brickwork, for example, a roller may struggle to get into all of the areas.

Take note: When you are using more than one batch of paint, mix the tubs together before you start painting to ensure you have good colour consistency throughout. It’s surprising how we may not notice the slow deterioration of the walls over time, and it’s often not until after you’ve decorated that you can see a real difference. Most well-manufactured masonry paints are anti-carbonation, meaning the coating will prevent excess carbon being absorbed into the concrete or brickwork.
