Brick Issue with new house, rendering whole house, re-bricki

I'd be careful of rendering, mainly because you don't have a sound surface for it to stick to. Brick is mostly only a cosmetic layer anyway if you could tolerate the inconvenience I would go that way. You are very lucky the builder is working with you.

Hi again,
Just wondering how your bricks are going? Our staining is reappearing and they want to treat it again.

Mate, we are still waiting on trial period with the latest coating they have applied. So far holding ok, plan is to wait another 2-3 months and then see...if all good then coat the whole house with new paintwork....I enquired what the product is from Buildpro and builder, couldn't get a detailed answer but it is supplied by Guard It, same people that supplied the sealer MVR. I would suggest try getting in touch with them, my fellows have been talking with rick@guarditsolutions.com.au. Hope that helps

Hi Mate,

Just thought I would update you, the latest works on the bricks seem to be holding up. Buildpro/Guard it products. 2-3 coats of sealer applied, then 1 coat of MVR then some paint colour matched to original bricks painted on the bricks. They a patch and almost 6 months holding well.

Hi Renfar,

Any update regarding your bricks? The colour coating that was applied - didnt hold and stains have re-appeared - after lots of fighting - I have put forward to be compensated - possibly for render but a whole lot more...just thought I would check if you had any luck at all?
