Lower outside wall painted with bitument roof felt adhesive

Anonymous user 09/03/2024 - 2.44 PM

About 40ft by 1.5 of lower outside wall of semi-detached house painted with bitumen roof felt adhesive. Will this harm the bricks?

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

yes it will hold any water ingress higher up the wall in the bricks causing them to splay long term

This will not harm the brickwork, it's a good sealant for damp and the like.
