Get the dust off and wet it down if its engeneering brick you will need a key first

Don't think it's engineering brink and there don't seem to be much dust on he brick just a lot of salt in one area, think the house is 1970s.

I would put an SBR slurry coat on old bricks so you have a key for your scratch coat marra.............:RpS_thumbup:

Not got loads of experience only 3 years really and havnt done plastering for 3 years or so, that's why joined here to jog my memory forgot a thew things, going out on my own got nothin to loose! That's one of reasons I stopped doing it cos the chap I worked for wasn't paying me what I was worth!
