Brick acid should do the trick

A jetwasher (karcher?) is the only thing I can think of as it has gone into the "pores" of the brick?

I tried a jet washer years ago and it didn't move it, yes it has gone into the pores of the bricks as it is atleast 10 years old that mark.

Re: How to remove black marks from bricks?

What caused the staining? Is it an acidic water coming from a combi-condenser?

It's typical of using the black rubber seals around the vent .Rainwater hits and finds the drip point at the bottom where the particles of rubber are concentrated and drip onto the brick .


@Snoopz (and anyone else who has this issue) A couple of coats of brick sealer will stop it getting into the pours of the brick and make it easier to get off in future

Yes it is from the water coming off combi condenser, and i have ignored it all these years and it really stands out now and looks a mess as you can see.

Thanks Martyh i will look into that too.
