Topic starter
 

The wall is red brick but has been painted. Now the paint is flakes and the wall needs pointing.
Sandblasting has been suggested but I'm wondering if this is a great idea since it is going to be repainted anyhow.
I suppose it is easier than brushing
manually.
So, sandblasting good idea or bad idea?

Depends whether removing the face of the bricks concerns you.

I hope someone can help however in my experience you will not remove paint from porous surfaces like this satisfactorily.
