Hi,
I have taken all the plaster off my chimney breast and exposed all the original brickwork. However no matter how much a scrub the brick with a wire brush it still seems to be very very dusty.
Is there a way of cleaning and treating the brickwork to make it look better and reduce the dust levels.
Thanks
The standard surface treatement in this situation is a few coats of plaster ...
Brick acid, then varnish.
You are a genius. Why didnt i think of that.
Why didn't you think of *what*?
Brick acid and wear goggles. I didn't and paid the price ;)
Seriously though it will clean up the bricks a treat

Including any context in his reply, apparently ...
Think of what? Providing some context? No idea.
Try brick slips. Or be a Chav and clad it in Yorkshire stone.
The message from "Doctor Drivel" contains these words:
There's a three-storey terrace round the corner from me - the whole row is 1970s yellowish-fawn brick - except one that's been done from ground to soffits in "stone" cladding. Gawd it dunnarf stick out like a sore thumb - and sold for about 10k less than others in the row.
My response was to the sarcastic and pointless reply from, Rob Morley. If that wasnt obvious then i apologise.
