Proposed removal of existing masonry paint from the brickwork within the inner cloisters at The Galleries using Klingstrip paint-removal poultice, to expose the original brickwork and reinstate its traditional appearance. Removal would be carried out in accordance with the manufacturer?s instructions, with an initial trial patch subject to agreement with the Conservation Officer to assess effectiveness and ensure the historic brickwork and mortar are not damaged. Following paint removal, defective mortar joints would be carefully raked out and repointed using a compatible lime-based mortar, with the mix, colour, texture and joint profile matched to the existing historic masonry. The proposed lime mortar would allow the masonry to breathe and help preserve the building?s historic character. The final mortar specification and sample finish would be agreed with the Conservation Officer before proceeding. Adjacent surfaces would be protected throughout, and all paint residue and waste would be collected and disposed of appropriately.
